An entire corner of International Food Store is devoted to candy and sweet treats, including ice cream, from all over Europe. The store also carries meats, fish, cheeses, teas, coffee and wine, and also bakes fresh bread daily.
NORTH PORT — Walking in to International Food Store, customers immediately are greeted by the smell of delicious smoked meats. The selection at the store at 13201 Tamiami Trail, which opened five years ago this week, is vast.
“We have much more stuff than we had when we opened,” said owner Mira Babek. “We have less room.”
