Buy Local at MISCO

The MISCO market in Uliga opened up in Majuro in late 2017 and quickly became the go-to store for local products. The shelves are filled with local juices and vegetables with chilled coconuts in the fridge. But probably the biggest drawcard is the coolers out front that are packed with chilled local fish … and the stalks of bananas that add color to the scene.
Add in a range of clever products, such as solar-powered lights and throw nets, and it’s the perfect island place to shop.
The store is a partnership with the Bank of Marshall Islands. You can call the store on (692) 625-6665.
