Mom's Organic Market: New Lee Highway Store To Be Complete By Late 2014

Plans are proceeding for a Mom’s Organic Market in Arlington's North Highlands community, about a half-mile from the Courthouse Metro Station.

“There’s no other store like ours in that we are more dedicated to organics and the environment,” said Mom’s CEO Scott Nash.

Construction is set to be complete in the fall of 2014.

The company, based out of Rockville, Md., has several locations in the region, including Alexandria and Herndon. The store offers a plethora of organic products and has a number of eco-friendly policies in place — some markets have solar panels on their roofs and electric-car charging stations.

The location in Arlington will be 14,000 square feet at 2145 Lee Highway. It’s part of a massive mixed-use development that Arlington County officials approved in December.

The Ode Street Tribune, a local blog, clamoured for a Mom’s Organic Market in Rosslyn earlier this month, though Nash would only confirm the Lee Highway location.

However, Nash did say the company has approximately five new locations planned for the region, but it was not ready to announce details yet.

The new Arlington store will have a prepared and hot food section with veggie burgers, steam bowls and fresh juices, Nash said.
