Founded in 2024 by Hiwet (Lily) Legesse, Lee Lega Store was born from a passion to introduce the rich cultural heritage of Ethiopia to the world in a modern, accessible way. With a vision to honor Ethiopian traditional values, the store seeks to offer authentic products while combining them with contemporary aesthetics to appeal to a global audience.
The signature product of Lee Lega Store is Chiko – a traditional Ethiopian delicacy that dates back centuries. Chiko is a unique protein bar made from barley, butter (ghee), salt, and spices. It’s not just a treat, but a piece of Ethiopian culture that has been cherished by generations. One of the remarkable aspects of Chiko is its shelf life. Unlike many foods, Chiko doesn’t spoil or expire quickly; it can be preserved for up to a year or even two, making it a convenient, long-lasting option for busy lifestyles.
Lee Lega Store currently offers Chiko in five delightful flavors: Basic Chiko, Quanta Chiko, Spicy (Awaze) Chiko, Cereal (Qolo) Chiko, and Sweet Chiko. These flavors represent an exciting blend of tradition and innovation, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Lily says, “The key to our success lies in the careful attention we pay to both the quality of ingredients and the presentation. Historically, Chiko and other Ethiopian products were often stored in simple, unattractive containers. At Lee Lega Store, we aim to elevate these age-old products with thoughtful packaging and premium quality to bring them into the global marketplace. We are excited to share the flavors and culture of Ethiopia with the world, one delicious product at a time”.
Their commitment to preserving tradition while embracing modernity is at the heart of Lee Lega Store.
