Default Does anyone know how to get Royco here in America?    Show Printable Version  Print   Email this Page  Email  

We live in Colorado and cannot find it in any specialty stores. We were hoping someone has maybe come across it somewhere, or has a website where we can order it. As for now, we have just had the occasional traveler going to Kenya bring us some back.

Thank you! God bless

Try Indian stores, also convenient store where you buy calling cards. You may have to go to a mostly immigrant part of town. Be sure to check the expiration date because some of them sell expired spices. Not sure about the immigrant population in Colorado. That's actually one of my fave cities.

Your other option is to call some friends from other states and have them send you some. Some states with larger Kenyan population have stores that sell them. It's funny airport staff now know that Kenyans carry Royco and wave you through. Last time I traveled they asked what I had to declare n I said spices. They said 'oh Royco that's fine' and let me through without checking my luggage.

West coast people get it from the East coast where there are a lot of kenyans.in lowell MA there used to be an Uchumi Ndogo but am not sure it exists anymore.Try Yahoo! Or call 717 875 3108 and ask for Jeff as listed on their website.Or go to Duka n Beauty Home Or call this # 410-325-2102 as listed on their website.Am sure in Colorado there must be kenyans there who know where to get it from nearby.Good Luck.

It maybe cheaper to send money to somebody back home and have them ship it to you. My stock is very good wish I could share but I don't trust people in here with addresses
