Our history
The Food Shop was established over 15 years to cater for individuals.
who find it challenging to shop at open-air markets. We specifically target those who are too busy, find haggling stressful, or dislike the crowded, often unsanitary conditions of traditional markets. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, convenient shopping experience where you can shop for quality groceries at your own pace and time.
Inspired by the organized and pristine stores seen in developed countries our owner decided to bring this concept to Yenagoa. The transition wasn’t easy, as locals were accustomed to the open-air market system. However, we successfully introduced them to a new way of shopping by offering products at competitive prices, sometimes even cheaper than the open-air market; and giving them the experience of hassle-free shopping.

There’s no doubt that seafood can greatly benefit your health. Years of research have
shown that seafood-rich diets can protect against various health issues and provide
essential nutrients often lacking in many people's diets. Fish and shellfish, such as
salmon, clams, and shrimp, are packed with protein, vitamins B12 and B6, selenium,
zinc, and iron. These nutrients are crucial for maintaining good health and preventing
anemia and depression. Seafood is also the best source of omega-3 fatty acids which
support nerve cell function and reduce inflammation, benefiting both heart and brain
health. Regularly eating seafood can fill nutritional gaps and promote overall well-being.In Bayelsa, seafood is more than just food - it's a cultural cornerstone, woven into
traditions and trade. The Food Shop, proudly rooted in Bayelsa, understands this deep
connection. That's why we offer a vast selection of the freshest seafood, from succulent
lobsters, prawns, and shrimp to flavorful fish, crayfish, snails, calamari, and crabs. We
even have periwinkles, ngolo (sea snails), and ngbe (oysters) to complete your culinary

There is the popular belief that fresh foods are better than frozen foods, but research
has shown that with modern freezing techniques frozen foods maintain their vitamin and
mineral content, with no alterations to their carbohydrate, protein, or fat levels. In certain
instances, frozen foods may contain more vitamins and minerals than their fresh
counterparts. This is because fresh foods can lose nutrients over time, whereas freezing
helps preserve nutrients; so you’ve got nothing to lose!Stop by The Food Shop today and experience the convenience and nutritional benefits
of our frozen foods.
