Our New Distribution Center
GABA Marketplace Center is preparing to open its new distribution center in Metro Detroit, the next step in bringing African and Caribbean products to businesses across the United States.
The facility will expand what we can offer our customers and suppliers: warehousing, inventory management, order fulfillment, packaging, and labeling, all under one roof. For retailers and restaurants, that means faster, more reliable supply. For producers in Africa and the Caribbean, it means a dependable path from their farms and facilities to American shelves.
As we grow, our focus stays the same: making authentic African and Caribbean food products easy for American businesses to buy, stock, and sell.
Why Michigan
Michigan sits at the heart of the Midwest, with highway, rail, and border connections that reach millions of American consumers. That makes Detroit a natural hub for bringing African and Caribbean products into the U.S. market.
Meeting Growing Demand
Michigan’s African and Caribbean communities, and the stores and restaurants that serve them, need a reliable supply of the foods they know. GABA imports staples like cassava, cashews, and sesame to meet that demand for grocers, restaurants, and food businesses across the state and beyond.
Growing Local Business
As a Detroit-based, WBENC-certified company, GABA creates jobs and opportunities in Metro Detroit and opens supply-chain doors for minority-owned businesses, both as suppliers and as customers.
Strengthening Trade Ties
Every product we bring in builds lasting partnerships between Michigan businesses and producers in Africa and the Caribbean, creating growth on both sides of the Atlantic.
Our Location
Our Metro Detroit base puts GABA minutes from major highways, rail lines, Detroit Metropolitan Airport, and the Great Lakes shipping corridor, with industrial neighbors in Detroit, Westland, and Romulus. That proximity lets us coordinate shipments closely, keep storage costs down, and move products quickly to customers across the Midwest and beyond.
Our growth also means local jobs in logistics, warehousing, and transportation, building economic opportunity right here in Michigan.
