Cavalla Travel Opens Brooklyn Center Store Specializing in African Tours
A longtime Brooklyn Center travel business that specializes in African tours is opening a new location.
Cavalla Travel has been in the area for 15 years. Owner Jannie Seibure, a native of Liberia, said she started the travel agency for the large immigrant population in the Twin Cities.
Now, her business is expanding to its new location in the Shingle Creek Center strip mall, located at 6044 Shingle Creek Parkway, not far from the former Target store.
Jannie Seibure opened Cavalla largely because she wanted to serve the immigrant population.
“The immigrants, especially the first generation, we don’t forget about home when we come here. We always want to keep in touch with our family. The immigrant community is huge here, so I thought ‘Let me serve my people,'” Seibure said.
The new storefront also offers luggage and travel accessories. Seibure created this model to make it a one-stop-shop resource in the community.
In addition to travel services, the shop has suitcases and other travel accessories.
CORRECTION: A previous version identified the location as Shingle Creek Crossing shopping center, when the actual location is in the Shingle Creek Center strip mall, located at 6044 Shingle Creek Parkway.
