About the GABA Marketplace Center
The GABA Marketplace Center is a retail, incubation, distribution, and e-commerce system developed by Global African Business Association (GABA) President and Chief Strategic Officer for the GABA Marketplace Center, Akindele Akinyemi, GABA Group Chief Executive Officer, O. Rerhi Onomake and MySahara Corporation President Tama Smith.
Our center will specialize in distributing products for various African/Caribbean products for businesses located within a 350-mile radius of Detroit, Michigan as well as provide retail, e-commerce, and incubation.
We aim to be the most dependable distribution chain in the local area that can be trusted to store and secure any kind of product.
Through the GABA Marketplace Center we are working to do the following:
- Help designate African-Caribbean retail grocery stores as African Continental Free Trade Area (AGOA)/African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) stores in the region.
- Franchise store opportunities.
- Connect our African-Caribbean SMEs with technical assistance.
- Expand African American businesses into sub-Sahara Africa to create supply chain with AfCFTA.
- Designate local urban communities as AfCFTA/AGOA communities in the U.S. through a sister city or sister county concept.
- Leverage proposed GABA Marketplace Center Distribution Center as an AGOA Trade Hub and Nigeria-USA Trade and Investment Centre.
Additionally, the GABA Marketplace Center will offer the following:
- Opportunities for African-Caribbean entrepreneurs to build real interdisciplinary skills needed to turn their creative ideas into reality and acquire business-related experience.
- Opportunities to connect import-export business focused resources and support.
- A unique set of services designed to assist new and current business owners with their specific needs.
