About Us

 

Founded in 1999 in the heart of Little Haiti, Fern’s Variety Store is rooted in legacy, love, and community. It all began with one passionate woman — our grandmother Fernandine — who opened a humble storefront with a mission to serve the neighborhood that raised her. A proud daughter of Little Haiti, she understood the power of family, culture, and tradition. With deep knowledge passed down through generations, she set out to offer high-quality, affordable household, cosmetic, beauty, and cultural products — along with the holistic plants that have long been staples of our heritage.

What started as a small store quickly became a lifeline. Her unwavering commitment to service, fair pricing, and cultural integrity made her a trusted figure in the community. She didn’t just sell products — she shared wisdom, built relationships, and created a space where people felt seen and supported.

Today, over two decades later, Fern’s Variety Store proudly continues that legacy. Still family-run and in the very same location, we carry forward her vision with the same values: authenticity, service, and community. Whether you're shopping for essentials or discovering a new favorite remedy, you’ll find more than just quality goods — you’ll find heart.

Welcome to Fern’s, where every product tells a story and every customer is family.
