Mackinley’s

Mackinley’s is a long-established and well-regarded Caribbean and African food store located in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Situated at 12 Byram Street, it serves as a leading specialist food store for the region, catering to customers who seek authentic ingredients for African and Caribbean cuisine. The store is celebrated for its diverse and specific offering, distinguishing itself from mainstream supermarkets by providing a wide array of specialist groceries.

The business embraces and expressively celebrates the culture of African and Caribbean food, a characteristic reflected in its distinct brand identity. This identity features a bold color palette and hand-drawn illustrations of produce, which underscore the diversity of ingredients available in the store. This visual and conceptual approach helps to differentiate Mackinley’s while also metaphorically leaning into the strong sense of community that is central to the business’s operation.

Mackinley’s is known to have celebrated its 10th birthday as of November a few years prior, highlighting its enduring presence in Huddersfield. The store offers a variety of products including fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, spices, canned and frozen goods, and alcohol. Furthermore, it has adapted to contemporary shopping needs by offering “Essential Boxes,” such as the Ghanaian Essentials Box, which are packed with necessary items and made available for home delivery.
