Our Story

Adesola Akindele - Founder

Mickas International Market was founded by Adesola Akindele, a visionary entrepreneur who wanted to bring the richness of African culture to communities across Canada. After moving to Saint John, she noticed that many newcomers and long-time residents struggled to find fresh African groceries, traditional ingredients, and cultural products that reminded them of home. Driven by this need, she created Mickas International Market—a place where customers could find quality African foods, everyday items, and stylish African fashion under one roof. Her mission was simple: to make cultural products accessible, affordable, and convenient for everyone. Today, her passion and dedication continue to guide our growth as we serve families, newcomers, students, and anyone eager to explore global flavors.
