Many people have looked for the acai berry at various stores, and many have had a hard time finding the actual fruit. This is because the acai berry loses much of its potency within 24 hours of being picked, so unless you live outside of the Amazon rain forest, you probably won't be able to get fresh acai berries anywhere, or if you can, they will be ridiculously expensive.
What you can get, however, are frozen acai berries. While they aren't quite as potent as when they are fresh, frozen acai berries still contain many of the great properties. They have tons of antioxidants, are high in fiber, contain multiple vitamins, and feature both fatty acids and essential amino acids.
Finding frozen acai berries can also be a chore, but it's not quite as difficult. Many local healthfood stores stock frozen acai berries, and if they don't, they may be able to special order some for you. They will be more expensive than other acai berry products like acai berry juices and pills containing acai berry extract, but there are benefits to purchasing frozen acai berries. Unlike these other two products, you actually get to enjoy eating the acai berry, even if you do have to thaw it first. You can use the berry as a topping on waffles and pancakes, enjoy a small bowl of berries as a snack, and integrate it into every meal you make. That's a lot more fun than simply drinking it as a juice or taking a pill every day.
Some of big stores are: Gnc, Walmart, Walgreens, Whole foods
