While driving, walking, or biking on Lake shore Boulevard you may have noticed that a bunch of gleaming red balloons replaced brown paper in the windows of Downtown Euclid’s newest business. African Variety Market and Catering celebrated their official grand opening on Saturday, September 23rd after a soft opening during the Art Walk the evening before. The storefront is located at 21932 Lake shore Boulevard next to Paragon.

Owner Asu Pelima, Sr was all smiles during the opening as he proudly led customers around the storefront to show off a variety of food and other items native to Liberia, his home country in West Africa.
