If you need something related to the state highways in the lansing area it is the place to call. Don’t show up all the doors are locked and you will have a hard time getting in person help. Also the states airplane service is in this building.

Never been inside. Might be just fine, Im sure. But it looks like something from a middle eastern regime with all the Arabic written on the front. This is America, and it disturbs me everytime I walk by.

The store employees are very rude. The butcher shouted at me for asking chicken as if it was a crime. The customer service is horrible. I hated my experience.

This is one of the oldest stores owned by foreigners however, its among the best rated by customers .This place is one the most unique in the whole michigan not only for the food they provide, but the way they treat their customers . American international Bulk is Not a Big or super fancy store but the experience with them could be Amazing!!!! Thanks for making a difference

This store has most what I need to buy every week, so I shop here so often. One of the owners is a tall Russian guy(buld) he is so rude with costumers and several times I saw him treating a young employee very bad, yelling on him and telling him to push heavy cart without him giving a young employee a hand.

They have really good tea, olive oil and imports. But use caution with the bulk bins. Some stuff is old. I got tiny worms with my sesame seeds.

Fairly large selection of items. Some of the containers are not as clean as they should be. Some of the items were not very fresh. The staff members are helpful and friendly. There are several interesting items that cant be found anywhere else in the area. They are very willing to special order what you need.

I am here to give my opinion about the meat only. It is very bad quality. It has nothing to do with the halal meat. I tried it baked, cooked, and fried, but the taste and the smell was very bad. I tried the chicken all kinds and lamb. This store should be inspected for the meat quality.

I wish there were more Lithuanian products but for how impossible it is to find anything Lithuanian around Lansing, Michigan, this is a pretty good place to go to.

Bulk food style for staples, boxed, canned, and cold foods. Deli counter. Fresh produce.

Review №56

For those saying there is not a variety of international foods and that it is all Middle Eastern, let me stop you right there. The AIBFS offers a variety of foods, spices, household items, and even beauty care products ranging from the Balkans in Eastern Europe, all the way to Western Europe, through the Middle East, in Asia, and all the way back to Mother Afrika. In one visit I can get: Vegeta, an Italian spice, Ćevapi, a traditional Balkan sausage, Seaweed, an Asian food garnish, Milka and Kinder chocolates from Germany, Goat cheese made in Turkey, Wine from Russia, henna art from India and Pakistan, Iranian sugar crystals, and all the ingredients I need for Afrikan Fufu. The AIBFS is VERY MUCH International. Stop in and treat yourself!
