Hoeun Khin and her daughter Narrin Carlberg opened "Narrin Spices and Sauces" at the West Side market in 1997. Both Hoeun and her Daughter were originally from Cambodia and arrived to the United States around 1981. The surroundings of the market reminded them of the Cambodian markets they shopped at back home. This inspired them to open up their own stand. Their goal was to bring a multi-cultured and ethnically diverse grocery store to the West Side Market.
