MOM’s Organic Market opened its 19th location earlier this month in Gaithersburg, MD. The 16,000 square foot store follows recent openings in White Marsh, MD, Cherry Hill, NJ, Baltimore, MD and Philadelphia, PA.
According to Founder and CEO Scott Nash, the company doesn’t have openings scheduled for the next 12 to 18 months, but will “put the pedal to the metal again in a couple years.”
The company’s Gaithersburg location features the retailers first in-store bakery, which Nash says is a test. It also includes an outlet of the chain’s Naked Lunch eatery, which offers all-organic, vegetarian prepared items.
Gaitheresburg also includes many of the services that MOM’s is known for, including free car-charging stations; a recycling center for corks, eyeglasses, cell phones, household batteries, shoes and plastic bags; a green roof that increases energy efficiency; rain gardens; and pollinator-friendly plants that help filter out pollutants in storm water runoff.
