About us

A market built around the food people miss.

Hakuna Matata International Market is a family-run international market serving West Valley City and the wider Salt Lake Valley. We stock the flours, pulses, spices, oils, and frozen goods that African and East African families cook with every day — the brands and package sizes people actually look for, not approximations of them.

Customers travel from across Utah to shop here, and we ship nothing: everything happens face to face, over the counter, with staff who know what you are asking for and can tell you when the next delivery lands.

Who we serve

  • African and East African families looking for familiar, trusted staples.
  • Neighbours in West Valley City and across the Salt Lake Valley.
  • Cooks exploring African ingredients for the first time.

What you will find

Our shelves change with what arrives. The catalog on this site is a guide to what we usually carry — call ahead if you need something specific.
