ROCKVILLE, Md., May 27 /PRNewswire/ — MOM’s Organic Market, the Washington/Baltimore metro area’s homegrown organic grocery chain and the only local provider offering only 100% organic produce, will be opening a store in the newly developed Mosaic District in Merrifield/Falls Church, VA. This location is scheduled to open spring 2012, at the intersection of Lee Highway and Gallows Road.
The Mosaic District is a LEED Pilot Project created by the U.S. Green Building Council. Sustainability of site, a 20,000 square foot green roof, water efficiency, and indoor environmental quality are just a few aspects that will be accounted for when building.
“With 5 stores in Maryland and only 1 in Virginia, this store is overdue for us. We picked Merrifield for its easy accessibility to so many NoVa communities. This lease signing also signifies a new phase of increased growth for MOM’s,” said Scott Nash, the founder and CEO of MOM’s. The company plans to open 5-6 additional stores by the end of 2012.
In addition to 100% organic produce, the new store will provide area residents with 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.
