Alaska International Market

European Foods, Deli Items, and Goods from Around the World

Alaska International Market is a small family-owned shop in Palmer, Alaska, where Ukrainian and Eastern European groceries share shelf space with fresh deli items, ice cream, desserts, and goods and souvenirs from around the world. New inventory arrives every week, and the staff are always ready to let you try something before you buy it.

Along with the familiar canned goods and sweets, there are things you rarely see in Alaska: a new cheese spread customers keep talking about, a rotating lineup of ice cream and drinks, and sometimes Peruvian sweaters or Mexican blankets tucked in among goods from other continents. The owners greet guests personally, enjoy talking about what is on the shelves, and will almost always offer a free sample if you are not sure what to pick.

The market runs like a real family business - no fuss, just genuine attention to each customer. If you are looking for a taste of Eastern Europe around Palmer, or simply enjoy discovering something new, stop in - there is almost always something on the shelf that was not there last week.
