Mom’s Organic Market

Scott Nash founded Mom’s Organic Market out of his mother’s garage in 1972. With a bicycle and a $100 investment, he began delivering and selling groceries.

In the mid-1980s, a friend of Scott’s gave him a big boost when the organic market he had been working for went out of business. He placed a sign on the door telling customers to call Mom’s Organic Market.

Today, Mom’s Organic Market has 21 stores in 6 states. While most stores offer an organic section, Mom’s is strictly organic. The company is best known for Bring Your Own Container, where bulk items, such as spices and cereal can be placed in the customer containers, reducing plastic and cutting costs.

Nash says that the store doesn’t do gimmicks and they don’t give away things, but they do offer a low-price guarantee.

In January 2023, the company opened its 22nd location in Burlington, Massachusetts.

Mom’s Organic Market maintains a corporate office in Rockville, Maryland.
