The Best Price Around: Noble African Market
Towson, MD - Noble African Market, located at 8642 Loch Raven Blvd, isn't just another grocery store—it's a cultural cornerstone where customers are greeted like family and where the diverse flavors and traditions of Africa come to life.
Owner Tobi takes pride in offering the best prices around, ensuring that customers can find everything they need under one roof. But running a small business comes with its challenges, and Tobi is no stranger to them.
As Tobi explains, theft is a concern: “People just walk in and take and you can only do so much about that."
Additionally, navigating customs delays can be a hurdle,
“At times stocks can be at the customs for months due to exams so with that, we lose goods because some goods can’t stay out that long. The longer they stay at customs the more bills we have to pay.”
Yet amidst these challenges, Noble African Market remains a vital link between the community and its cultural roots. For Tobi, serving the community goes beyond transactions; it's about building relationships.
"Everyone is treated like family here because we're all from the same continent," she says. “Whether from Ghana or Nigeria, we are all oneself.”
