Serving Central New Jersey Since 1995

Emporium International Foods was founded in 1995 to give Central New Jersey families convenient access to the authentic foods and flavors they knew and loved.

For years, many New Jersey customers searching for Russian and Eastern European specialties traveled to Brighton Beach and Brooklyn to find them. Emporium helped bring that selection and tradition closer home.

As our community grew, so did Emporium.

Today, our selection extends beyond Russian specialties to include foods and products from Poland, Germany, Ukraine, the Baltic's, the Balkans and other parts of Europe and beyond.

Through all that growth, our philosophy has remained the same: quality food, authentic flavors, knowledgeable service, and respect for culinary tradition.
