Our story
A taste of the world, under one roof in Albany.
FreshFoods International Market opened in January 2024 as Albany's first international grocery destination — bringing together flavors and ingredients from across the globe in one welcoming space.
Why we exist
Before FreshFoods International Market, finding authentic Indian spices, fresh halal meat, Middle Eastern pantry staples, Caribbean cooking ingredients, or Soursop and Moringa in Southwest Georgia meant driving 75–80 miles. For families that live here and want food that tastes like home, that was a real hardship.
Founder Hassam Karamat set out to change that.
"Business isn't about making money. Money is a byproduct of businesses adding value to others. My main goal is that I can be a reason for ease and comfort for people."
What we offer
- •International groceries — Pakistani, Indian, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Mexican, Asian, Caribbean, and African pantry essentials.
- •Fresh Sabiha halal meat — beef, lamb, goat, and chicken cut to order. Especially popular: our fresh goat meat.
- •Fresh produce daily — including hard-to-find items like Soursop, Moringa, and Indian vegetables.
- •Weekend Biryani — house-made chicken or beef biryani. Pre-order family or party packs.
- •Wellness herbs — Sea Moss, Moringa, Mullein and traditional herbal oils for immune and skin care support.
- •Trending sweets — Dubai chocolates, TikTok creams, and other novelty treats from around the world.
