The market has always been a
passport.
Long before it had a website, Old World Market was where Uptown found the foods it grew up on. Every aisle is a country. Every shelf, a story.

CHAPTER ONE
Located in Chicago's Uptown
neighborhood.
Old World Market offers a broad selection of imported West African and select Caribbean products—the same shelves neighbors have shopped for over forty years, now organized for a national audience without losing what made them come back.

CHAPTER TWO
What is Fufu?
Fufu is one of the foods that immediately shows what Old World Market is about. Made from starchy ingredients such as cassava, plantain or yam, fufu is enjoyed alongside soups and stews throughout parts of West Africa and beyond. But that’s only the beginning of the story.
