Pempamsie Overview
Pempamsie is a Well-being & Culture store chain with branches across London. They offer a range of Natural hair and skincare products as well as Natural herbal supplements, crystals, and books that promote a healthier lifestyle. Complimented by a chain of Caribbean vegan restaurants, Eat of Eden, Pempamsie provides a solid destination for natural essentials and remedies, plus tasty Caribbean vegan food. Their staff are friendly and knowledgeable about herbal remedies, always willing to offer their help and support.
Pempamsie’s Founder & CEO, Basil Palmer, was born in south-London of Jamaica parentage. He built Pempamsie with the aim of reaching back into his African heritage to build a sustainable business future rooted in the UK with global expansion plans. The name Pempamsie derives from one of 98 Adinkra symbols, which represent concepts, proverbs, and aphorisms originating from the Gyaman people of Ghana and Cote d’lvoire. The Pempamsie symbol itself means: Sew in readiness. It symbolises connection through strength, unity and preparation.
Pempamsie stores are currently located in Lewisham, Brixton, Stockwell, Mitcham, Harlesdon, Walthamstow, and online.
