Burlington's Mom's Organic Market Hosting Grand Opening This Weekend

BURLINGTON, MA — Mom's Organic Market has announced it will be hosting a Grand Opening at its first New England store in Burlington this weekend.

Mom's, which will be located at 35 Cambridge St., will host its Grand Opening from Friday to Sunday.

The weekend will feature giveaways, demos and free samples. Shoppers also will have an opportunity to meet Mom's vendors and its environmental partners, according to a spokesperson for the organic grocery store's parent company.

Mom's, which has 22 stores in five states, offers 100 percent organic produce, sustainable seafood, gluten-free and vegan products, wellness and body care, bulk spices, herbs, teas and more, according to its website.

"Our ingredient standards are essential to who we are," Mom's writes on its website. "Since 1987, we have only offered the highest quality organic produce. As we have grown, we continue to evaluate every item we put on our shelves."

The store's website also features a section for banned ingredients and ingredient watchlists.

"We've banned over 250 ingredients from our stores including artificial flavorings, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners and preservatives, hydrogenated oils, and more," Mom's writes on the website. "Our Watchlists also include ingredients that we rarely accept or only accept in special circumstances."

The store also encourages customers to bring their own bags to shop and it has a recycling center for customers to drop off compost, batteries, cell phones, shoes and other items.

Store hours in Burlington will be: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday through Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
