BY\nTOLULOPE IMADE\/FOOD & FASHION REPORTER, LONDON<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

THEY\nARE NIGERIAN COUPLES, HIGHLY SKILLFUL YEMI AND ADE TAIWO are lovely\ncouples so hardworking and industrious. They are the faces behind the\nsuccess story of Payless African & Carribean Food Market at 875\nHamilton Rd, United Kingdom. They formerly lived in Ontario, Canada\nrecently. <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\nare bringing the foods and flavors of Africa into London consistently\nfor two years. These African\ncommunities pride themselves on preparing traditional fare with\nvegetables, meats and spices from their home country, something a\nlocal food market in London, will hardly supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payless African and Caribbean Food Market opened its doors at 875\nHamilton Rd. nearly two years ago, answering the call from local\nfriends and family for ingredients from home. Earlier, the couple\nwere living in Caledon, Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the words of the wife of Yemi, a co-owner, Ade Taiwo said: \u201cWe\nsaw a need here and I began to persuade my husband to drop his\nconstruction work and open an African market,\u201d said Ade Taiwo,\nco-owner of Payless African and Caribbean Food Market. Eventually\nhe agreed and we moved to London.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Ade\nwas the first of the Taiwo family to arrive in Canada from Nigeria in\n2006. Her husband Yemi and their four children followed in 2009,\nfirst settling in Brampton. The family then moved to Caledon for a\ntime before calling London home in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They spent a number of weekends traveling between Caledon and\nLondon to find a place to live and scout out a store location.\nPayless Market opened its doors in April, 2017.
\u201cAll of our\nproducts are sourced from Africa,\u201d said Ade. \u201cThey\u2019re either\nshipped in by us, or by other African business owners who bring stuff\nfrom Africa.\u201d
The store imports grains, vegetables, meats and\nspices from countries including Nigeria, Ghana, Togo, Cameroon and\nthe Congos. Yemi travels abroad to import many of the products\nhimself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSometimes\npeople come to the store and they are amazed to find what they last\nate when they were back home,\u201d said Ade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple have plans to expand their business to include another\nlocation in London in the coming months, and possibly open other\nlocations outside the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
