Our Story

Kanbe’s Markets was established in 2016 to address the food insecurity faced by residents on the east side of Kansas City, Missouri. The stark divide created by the lack of grocery stores and limited transportation options along Troost Avenue highlighted the urgent need for fresh food access. In 2018, the first Healthy Corner Store opened, transforming local convenience stores into sources of fresh and affordable fruits and vegetables. Today, Kanbe’s Markets serves over 250,000 residents, ensuring that healthy food is within reach for all.

Our Impact

Kanbe’s mission enhances the local food economy by collaborating with small businesses, produce wholesalers, and local farmers. This collective effort ensures that thousands of Kansas City residents have access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food options.
