About Us

Welcome to De-chosen African Market!

 

Our Roots:

De-chosen African Market has a rich history deeply rooted in the entrepreneurial spirit of our founder’s grandmother. A remarkable businesswoman, she sold everything from pepper to clothes, creating a legacy of determination and success. In the year 2000, our journey began in the vibrant city of North Battleford, where we laid the foundation for our commitment to delivering exceptional products and service.

Driven by our passion for bringing the flavors of Africa to Canadians, we expanded our operations to Saskatoon while keeping our business close to home, right in our founder’s house.
