Kaba’s African & Caribbean Market: A Cleveland Legacy Built by Listening to the Community

Kaba’s African and Caribbean Market has been part of Cleveland’s Lee Harvard neighborhood since 2006, and its growth is a story rooted in listening, culture, and community. In this interview, Aicha Kaba, owner of Kaba’s African and Caribbean Market, shares how her father’s original vision turned into a neighborhood staple that serves African, Caribbean, Indian, and Asian communities across Cleveland. What started as a small grocery evolved into a trusted destination for food, skincare, wellness products, and cultural connection. Aicha also explains how working with Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and the White Box Project has helped bring new life to their original location, which will soon become a restaurant opening in the spring. This conversation highlights what happens when small businesses and community organizations work together to strengthen neighborhoods from the inside out. This is a story about staying rooted, growing with intention, and building something that truly serves the people.
