While I have to say that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I must respectively disagree with the comments above.

I like the layout of the Frederick Store, and there is more parking than anyone could know what to do with. Turnover was bad in some ways, but the people working there have now been there a long time. Lastly, I think the produce looks absolutely amazing. Have you even been in the store in the last couple of months? Honestly?

I’m really not trying to get involved, but I find comments such as these curious when there is a double post that has the exact same message but with different names listed.

Honesty and constructive criticism are always welcomed….

I was disappointed yesterday, went to MOM in Frederick to see how it was but produce was not looking very good or plentiful and some of the produce prices higher than expected. Also store doesn’t seem to have many employees and also seems very empty compared to Common Market which is where I usually shop and will probably stick with as produce is the main ingredient on my shopping list

The Common Market is a Community Owned Market. The prices may be higher, but it’s technically non-profit. The money goes back into the community, and into educational services they provide for the customers. As a long time shopper, I havn’t seen a change. The old store may have been cozier, but the new one is more inviting so more of the community can go and shop there. Yes, there is room in town for both stores. Some customers just want to save money. That’s cool, but while our community turns into the next big city, and while global warming continues to ravage the world, you can find me at my local co-op.

Yeah, it seems a lot of people are really sick of the common market, I used to love the old location but they’ve changed. A friend of mine used to work there and he told me how all the old folks were fired. It was really sad how they worried about image rather then the old people who cared. They don’t even educate their employees about environmentalism or organic food. I guess they cared more about making money then keeping their old “hippies” there.

Well, Mom I hope youre better then the CM

I lived in College Park for 21 years and I was very excited when MOM’s came to my neighborhood. Since we’ve to Emmitsburg moved I had to put up with the high prices from the Common Market. We do hope you are opening very soon.

Good Question. We’ll be opening the Frederick store, fingers crossed, the third week in April, which is Earth Day weekend. We’ll have announcements on our website, in papers, etc. Stay tuned…
