Our Story

Ìsalèè Èkò was inspired by the unforgettable energy of Lagos — a city where markets are alive with colour, movement, rhythm, and community.
In Lagos, shopping is more than a transaction. It is connection. It is culture. It is home.

We created Ìsalèè Èkò African and Caribbean Store to bring that same spirit to Canada.
A place where authentic flavors, familiar ingredients, and cultural experiences come together under one roof.

Whether you’re here to stock your pantry or explore something new, Ìsalèè Èkò is the bridge that keeps you connected to where you come from.

A Grocery Store with a Cultural Soul

We serve everyone: the nostalgic shopper, the curious explorer, the home cook, the new Canadian, the storyteller, and the dreamer.
