Business Description
Brooklyn Park, MN-based Global African Foods, Inc. (GAF) was founded to meet rising demand in the U.S. for foods with African origins. This demand reflects both demographic and consumer trends of recent years. The growth of African immigrant communities in the U.S., including populations of African descent from Latin America and the Caribbean, is expanding the consumer base for Pan-African foods domestically. Meantime, mainstream American consumers are showing ever more interest in novel cooking and dining experiences. So-called inspirational consumers, having already expanded their repertoires to Latin and Asian cuisine, are embracing the largely undiscovered flavors of the African Diaspora.
