Behind a welcome bowl of baklava, there’s aisles of foods from all over the world at Dandenong’s latest and most eclectic supermarket.
The African Superstore is the brainchild of Nadia Hassan – a refugee and business graduate from Eritrea who after looking at the unappealing ‘job boards’ at Centrelink decided to be her own boss.
Ms Hassan started her first “milk bar” in Melbourne’s west in 1996.
Using her wide network of suppliers, she’s able to find almost any foods from anywhere at a low price.
Not just favourite foods and spices from African nations, such as the Mazoe orange-crush drink, fufu flakes and dried meat from South Africa.
