The Wazobia African Market on Westheimer Road is a full-service West African grocer in the heart of Houston's southwest corridor. This location carries the complete Wazobia product range — Nigerian and Ghanaian pantry staples, frozen meats and seafood, fresh produce, and a halal meat counter — in a spacious, well-organized store.
The Westheimer store is popular with Houston's Nigerian and Ghanaian communities for weekly grocery runs, party catering orders, and bulk purchases of garri, egusi, and palm oil. Parking is ample and the aisles are wide enough for cart-heavy shopping.
Open daily — call ahead to confirm current and holiday hours.
The Beechnut Street location is Wazobia's flagship Houston store and one of the largest authentic West African grocers in Texas. Situated in the Alief area of southwest Houston, this store serves as a community hub for Nigerian, Ghanaian, Ivorian, and Cameroonian families across the metro.
The Beechnut store stocks a deep selection of pantry staples, frozen and smoked specialty items, fresh produce, and a full halal meat counter. It's also the primary location for Wazobia's catering and bulk orders for weddings, naming ceremonies, and community events.
