Products and brands

Grand Mart

Grand Mart's final store to open in the Washington area opened in Frederick, Maryland in 2013. In mid-2008, Grand Mart closed its Security Square Mall location, the only store it had in the Baltimore area. In October 2014, Grand Mart closed its Frederick location.

Grand Mart attempted to expand outside of the Washington area, including more locations in Georgia and North Carolina, and planned stores in Texas and New York. In Chicago, it purchased eight former Cub Foods locations. However, the Grand Mart format was not successful in the Chicago area, and the four stores that were opened (Bedford Park, Chicago, Melrose Park and Niles) subsequently closed. After the closure of the Chicago-area Grand Mart stores, plans for downstate independent grocer Niemann Foods to expand into the Chicago market by acquiring several of the shuttered Grand Mart stores fell through. The Chicago location (at North and Cicero Avenues) is now a Food 4 Less store while the Bedford Park location is now an Art Van Furniture. The Melrose Park location later became a Meijer (which closed on June 17, 2017) and the Niles location is now a Fresh Farms Market.
