JB Global Market: A New International Grocery Destination in Sarnia
The concept for Joe Barkhouse’s new grocery store grew from a Thanksgiving dinner he hosted eight years ago for international college students. As he got to know them, he realized how much they missed food from their own countries, as well as the camaraderie of preparing meals as a group. On Aug. 1, he opened JB Global Market with dry goods, frozen meats and fresh vegetables from around the world.
A Diverse Selection of Authentic International Foods
JB Global Market stands out as a vibrant hub for culinary exploration, offering an extensive selection of authentic international foods that cater to diverse tastes and preferences. The store stocks hundreds of items, including frozen dumplings from Korea, Mexican drinks, frozen fruit from India, and frozen milkfish, a Filipino favourite. Key highlights include a rich assortment of Mexican, Indian, Asian, and Middle Eastern ingredients, along with unique snacks and ready-to-eat meals that transform cooking into an exciting adventure.

Fresh Prepared Meals and Street Food
He also sells inexpensive street food and opened a small kitchen at the back of the store two weeks ago where he warms premade foods.
