MOM’s Organic Market to Expand

July 8, 2009

MOM’s Organic Market will open a store at the newly renovated Hilltop Plaza in Bowie, Md., marking the organic grocery chain’s sixth location.

As well as 100 percent organic produce, the new store will offer a large variety of organic and unique grocery and dairy items, bulk foods, gourmet cheeses, local and organic meats, sustainable seafood, gluten-free foods, supplements and body care products, environmentally friendly household goods, and holistic pet products, according to Rockville, Md.-based MOM’s.

“[Prince George’s] County has been largely ignored by national chains for as long as I can remember, and the residents deserve a source for reasonably priced, healthy organic groceries,” noted MOM’s founder and CEO Scott Nash, a native of the area.

MOM’s currently operates five stores in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area: Rockville, Md.; College Park, Md.; Alexandria, Va; Columbia East, Md.; and Frederick, Md.
