Kosher Grocer To Move, Double In Size

Seven Mile Market, a kosher supermarket in Pikesville that has drawn Jewish residents and others from around the region, plans to move and double in size – likely making it the largest operation of its kind in the nation.

The market, which opened in 1988, is moving to a Safeway store on Reisterstown Road near its current location on Seven Mile Lane. Already known for offering a wide variety of meat, fish, baked goods and other foods, the market will expand its product offerings as it moves into 55,000 square feet from its current 28,000-square-foot location.

The new location would be larger than other kosher mega-markets, including a store called Pomegranate, a two-year-old gourmet kosher supermarket in Brooklyn, N.Y. Pomegranate has about 30,000 square feet of retail space, said Menachem Lubinsky, editor of Kosher Today, an online publication that monitors trends in the kosher food and beverage industry.
