Best Convenience store in Fort Wayne

True Kimchi is a Korean convenience store located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was initially a kimchi stand at the farmers market in 2018, which accidentally became a Korean convenience store in 2022. The store offers a variety of Korean staples, including gochujang, doenjang, and gochugaru, which are chili flakes responsible for the heat and red hue in many types of kimchi. True Kimchi works with local farms and food producers to source their produce, ensuring that their products are locally sourced and sustainable. The store's shelves are stocked with hard-to-find imported Korean snacks, ice creams, ramens, and house-made grab-n-go items such as triangle kimbap, spam musubi, side dishes, and kimchi. They also offer a rotating specials menu featuring items like galbijjim, kimchi pancakes, dumplings, and more. The True Kimchi brand is about sharing Korean culture through the vehicle of food and expanding the city's food diversity. The store's founder, Samantha Yim, was born in Seoul, South Korea, and raised in the country until she was 10 years old. She launched True Kimchi at the farmers market in 2018 and has since expanded into a storefront cafe and Korean market at 2805 E. State Blvd. in Fort Wayne.
