Ubi Market has arrived at 655 Grand Street! Ubi Market is an Asian Grocery store specializing in a variety of imported goods from Japan, Korea, and other parts of Asia. Owners Jesica and Jay were inspired by convenience stores in Korea to open Ubi Market, bringing their own spin to a staple Korean business. Alongside the variety of imported Asian goods, Ubi Market also has a DIY ramen station, freshly made rice balls, and a combination fresh juice/bubble tea bar! Other goods, like fresh produce, are available; with a focus on groceries that are essential in Asian cooking. Bok choy, Lemongrass, and Daikon radish are amongst the variety of imported produce you’ll find at Ubi Market. Jesica is passionate about “bringing Asian goods and introducing new foods” to the neighborhood, leading her to stock Ubi Market with so much variety.
Freshly made juice at 655 Grand Street may seem familiar to you if you’ve been around Grand Street for a while; Jesica’s brother Armando and their mother have run the now closed To The World Farm in the same location for over 15 years. Jesica says she has “fond memories of coming to the store and sleeping under the counter” when she was a child. She’s seen the neighborhood change and grow over the years, now returning to run Ubi Market. After running a successful business elsewhere, she’s excited to come back to Grand Street with a fresh vision for her family’s business. Stop by Ubi Market at 655 Grand Street for a variety of asian inspired goods, and enjoy some freshly squeezed juice while you shop!
