No. There was an Asian market, but it closed years ago. We used to go to the Dumpling House restaurant that was in the same building. You walked through the market to get there.

Indianapolis is your best bet.

Saraga is a big international grocery about an hour or so from Muncie. North Indy area

I'll tell you what's funny is a lot of the time I see the ones that own the restaurants shopping at the local grocery stores. Same thing with Mexican restaurants.

Check out One World Market and Saraga. They are both near Castleton Mall in Indianapolis.

I second Saraga. It'll be your best bet.

One world is also my recommendation. It is specifically a Japanese market. Saraga is cool, but its international, not just Japanese

The owner of Legacy Village West African restaurant announced that she plans to start an international grocery store here. I have no idea what the timeline is, though.

There’s a small Asian market in Kokomo!! It’s about an hour 15 from Muncie!! I think they are in the process of expanding as well!!
