Pak Halal International Foods

Pak Halal International Foods is a family-owned South Asian and halal grocery in Lenexa’s 87th Street Parkway retail corridor, run by founder Munir Yameen and housing the in-store Trade Routes Bakery — the primary anchor grocer for the Kansas City metro’s South Asian community.

Description

Pak Halal International Foods is a family-owned South Asian and halal grocer at 12259 W 87th Street Parkway in Lenexa, Kansas, on Johnson County’s densest ethnic-grocery corridor. Founded and operated by Munir Yameen, the store combines a halal butcher counter, a broad South Asian grocery selection (spices, staples, produce, prepared foods), and an in-store bakery — Trade Routes Bakery — under one roof. The operator describes the business as family-owned and in operation for more than fifteen years, positioning Pak Halal as one of the longer-tenured anchors of the KC-area South Asian retail community.

The founder’s own account describes the business growing from a roughly 1,400-square-foot storefront into a ~6,000-square-foot operation as the Trade Routes Bakery expansion came online — a scaling story that tracks with Pak Halal’s role as a destination grocer for Muslim and South Asian households across the metro.

Trade Routes Bakery — operating inside the Pak Halal storefront — is a natural candidate for a dedicated Registry page in its own right.

Ownership and history

Pak Halal is owned and operated by Munir Yameen, who has publicly framed the business as a retirement-era venture that grew larger than intended: the store expanded from a small ~1,400 sq ft footprint into a ~6,000 sq ft operation with the addition of the Trade Routes Bakery. The operator site describes Pak Halal as “family owned” and in business for “over fifteen years,” which places founding no later than roughly 2010 and possibly earlier. A precise founding year is not stated on either surfaced first-party source and is therefore not asserted here.
