Aslam Market
For nearly two decades, Aslam Market has been a cornerstone of South Philadelphia’s Southeast Asian and Central American immigrant communities. Initially selling Indian and American groceries, the store has since evolved to offer an expansive range of items – like mixes for momo or Nepalese dumplings, Indian sweets, Burmese sweet curry and Indonesian instant noodles – not forgetting where gyro cart vendors get their special spice blends.
The market’s success is a testament to the power of community and how small investments in funding can help stabilize and heal an area. When Commerce Department gave Aslam Market money for facade improvements, they did more than make their storefront look great–they also strengthened trust within its surrounding neighborhood and fostered trust among customers. These traits are essential traits for creating healthy, vibrant neighborhoods; they’re also key in getting city officials to recognize and support locally owned businesses.
