The Bronx is home to a growing Arab American community, with Yemeni immigrants playing a particularly significant role in the borough's economy. Yemeni-owned bodegas and convenience stores can be found on nearly every corner in neighborhoods like Fordham and Kingsbridge, making Yemenis one of the most visible Arab communities in the Bronx.
The Yemeni presence in the Bronx dates back decades, with many families establishing small businesses that have become community anchors. These stores serve not just Arab customers but entire neighborhoods, operating as essential businesses in areas sometimes underserved by larger retailers.
Beyond the Yemeni community, the Bronx hosts Egyptian, Moroccan, and Palestinian families who have settled throughout the borough. The relatively affordable housing compared to Manhattan and Brooklyn, combined with good transit connections, makes the Bronx attractive for working-class immigrant families.
The Arab community in the Bronx maintains strong ties to communities in other boroughs—attending mosques in Queens, shopping in Bay Ridge, and connecting with cultural organizations throughout the city. Despite being more dispersed than in Brooklyn or Queens, Arab residents have built supportive networks that help newcomers navigate life in New York.

“My mother was accused of shoplifting at a department store. She has early dementia and forgot to pay. The store wanted to prosecute. Our lawyer presented medical records and got the charges dropped. She also helped us get a doctor's letter to prevent this from happening again.”
