Mi Pueblo Supermarket is a Hispanic supermarket chain with locations at 3060 Pelham Parkway at Pelham Plaza, and 216 Green Springs Highway in Homewood. The store, owned by Joel Rivera, originally opened at 813 Green Springs Highway in Homewood. A second location followed in a 10,000 square foot space at 3010 Pelham Parkway. That store moved a short distance to a former Food World location nearby in 2013. The pattern repeated itself in Homewood with the original store moving to another former Food World in 2014.

The stores feature products familiar to Latin American countries, but also stock foods from the Caribbean, Africa and India. Special sections marked with national flags group together items familiar to specific countries. An in-store kitchen and bakery serves breakfast, lunch and supper dishes for eating in or carry out.
