New Grocery Store Specializing In International Food Opens In Silver Spring

SILVER SPRING, MD — A new supermarket specializing in food from all over the world opened in the Briggs Chaney Market Place in Silver Spring last week.

Dubbed Global Food Market, the store has a variety of food from all over the world, including Middle Eastern, European, Latin, Asian, Indian and Pakistan, American and more.

The first store opened in Manassas, Virginia in 2002. There's also a store in Montgomery Village, which opened in 2010, and stores in Woodbridge, Alexandria and Ashburn, Virginia.

“Our goal is to help bring great products into this community,” said the head of public relations for Global Food Market Silver Spring Jai Kim, according to Montgomery Community Media. “We also wanted to provide a place where people who have limited access to transportation, could get these type of diverse products right in the middle of their own neighborhood versus traveling far out.”

The store hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday. During the summer months, Kim said the store hours will be extended to 10 p.m., according to Montgomery Community Media.
