New Happy Market — Local services in Riverdale

My sister and I travelled from Tallahassee to Atlanta Georgia to the New Happy Market with a reputation for stocking, inter alia, exotic African, especially Nigerian Food items. It was my first time in this small market run by a Chinese family. As we entered the market, I was taken a back to see AGÉGE BREAD on the shelf! This is a popular type of Bread in Lagos, Nigeria. As I moved around the shop, I saw Gari Ìjèbú, Olóyin Beans, Pounded Yam flour, Saint Louis Sugar, Peak Powered Milk, roasted peanuts, fresh meat, Tom tom sweet, Ewédú vegetable, Irú (Fermented Locust Beans), Yam, Ose dúdú (Black soap) etc. What! I was flabbergasted. It was like I was back in the popular Òyìngbò Market in Lagos, Nigeria.. Virtually anything you need for Nigerian dishes and beverages are here. Even the popular herbal alcoholic drink ORIGIN is on the shelf! Service was courteous and prompt. No wonder many Nigerians from different parts of Florida and beyond come to this market in Georgia to obtain favourite Nigerian food and household items that you will not encounter in many Conenience stores. The Parking Lot is spacious but somewhat literred. Management should commit more resources to cleaning the surrounding environment. The New Happy Market qualifies as a Tourist attraction for a Nigerian...

So my Hubby recently Immigrated to the US🙌🏾, and it's been a culture shock for him, literally! No foods he can identify with....but I'm his resourceful wife and get him things for egg sauce, Spag, Jollof and Indomie! BUT he was wanting Stew and soups, and I was ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS so I started asking friends and my sister is and educator with many Nigerian students and The New Happy Market was the place to go for ALL THINGS NIGERIAN and Let me tell you WE GOT BABA EVERYTHING from his home country IN THIS STORE I was SO RELIEVED...because I love my Hubby and want him to love his new country and foods do that for us...especially in African American families...food is truly where the heart is! So I'll definitely be making this my number 1 location for my Hubby grocery shopping. The prices were average to mid range, but I say your paying for good quality foods, authenticity, and the convenience of NOT TRAVELING 50 PLUS MILES AWAY into other cities to find Authentic African ingredients! We spent over $100; BUT it will last my Hubby for at least one month or more! We live in...

I was recommended here based off of an item I normally would have to drive an hour away to get. Decided to give them a call and the A-hole who answered the phone was RUDE as heck!!! I asked did they have the item in stock. He mentioned no, I then proceeded to ask if he knew when they would restock the item. He abruptly stated no. I said would you please mind asking an associate if they would know? He said ma’am look, I don’t know there schedule. They come they come, they don’t they don’t. HOW RUDE!!!!! The reason I called was because the person who recommended me stated they come every Tuesday. Well why ask him you say? Well that’s because she stated she hadn’t been there in over a year and it may have changed! Well one thing for sure is that hour commute just kept...
