Grand Mart

I visited the Annapolis rd location and was very suprised of several things, it was clean, and didn’t smell of the seafood counter. The store is organized and spacious. The selection is unbelievable and fresh. I was a customer of another store up the street, but no longer, oh they also have security, I don’t have to worry so much about having my purse stolen.

Since our family moved here in 2011 we have shopped here 4 different occasions. I must say in our last visit we bought some whole hens, having to come back to get reimbursed since they where slimy, old, it had an awful smell gone bad. Very disgusting and disappointed they would sell something like this. I do have to admit they didn’t question when asking for my money back, although just by looking and smelling the poultry they would know. I don’t plan to go back very unhappy with the product.

Not impressed. I frequent international markets A LOT. The produce section at this one in particular is depressed, and the building has a foul odor. I still get a frown just thinking about it.

I love this store. From the fresh produce, to the fresh seafood. I come to this store all the time for the fresh fish (they will cut it, slice it anyway you like). My kids loove this place too, their fresh baked goods especially their cupcakes. Please try Grand Mart’s café, their sopa de res will make you faint.

The store isn’t fancy by all means and has the natural odor of seafood and other vegetables. However, the place is clean and the vegetables are pretty fresh. I haven’t seen anything moldy.
Their East/​South Asian and Indian and Middle Eastern selection aren’t all that big and if you’re looking for something specific, you might be better off at another store, but if you’re just looking for general things like maybe gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) and the like, you can find it.
Their Caribbean and Latino food sections are the largest and if you have WIC, it is accepted there. The prices are okay, but you can find a deal pretty often.
EDIT:
They no longer carry rice cakes, due to high supply and low demand, which is a huge bummer. And they won’t be accepting WIC in April.

Once upon a time, this Market was Grand and one could find all kinds of exotic fruit and prepared Koren yummies, but then they decided that their Asian demographic was not as strong as the Latin and so the market changed.. .While you can still get good prices on veggies and meat, I miss the precut packaged fruit and different kinds of fresh kimchi.

inside looks ghetto but the pupusas from the little café are the real deal… they spoiled me rotten.

Safeway was replaced by Grand Mart. I’m glad there is a store that sells Korean groceries in my area but it’s not a Lotte or Han Ah Reum Mart. They have a decent amount of basic Korean items. The store has prominently Hispanic foods. But, there is an aisle dedicated to Korean foods. And, there are other items scattered around the store. They are a little more expensive but you won’t have to travel far to get what you want. The produce and seafood is fresh and there is plenty of parking.
