They are a Mediterranean and international grocery store located in Rockford Square at 1855 S Rock Rd.

There aren’t many stores like it in Wichita, so let’s take a look inside.

Their shelves offer a huge selection of couscous, hummus, grape leaves, baba ghanouj, tahini, olives, olive oil, cheese and more.

When it comes to beverages and snacks, they have that as well.

One of the most helpful aspects about El Madina Market was the product knowledge. The owner knew all the information about every product he had on hand. Sometimes when you walk into an ethnic grocery store, you wonder where a certain product is from or even what it is. The owner had each item labeled so you knew what country it was from and what it was. Overall, it was a very well organized grocery store.
