Map: Groceries in Columbia

Whole Foods is entering a competitive market.

 

Last week's announcement that Whole Foods has signed a lease at the former Rouse building in Town Center was called, "The worst kept secret in Howard County," by Howard Hughes Vice President John DeWolf.

But what isn't a secret is the competitive market it will be entering. While development is expected in downtown Columbia that will likely increase the food market, there already are 15 groceries within or close to Columbia.

There's the newly opened Wegmans off of Snowden River. Across from it is a BJ's Wholesale Club. Just across the Columbia/ Elkridge border is Trader Joe's and Costco. There are three Giant's in the city, a Food Lion and the Harper's Choice Safeway.

And then there's the speciality stores like Nazar Market, David's Natural Market and Roots in Clarksville.

With all the options in the Columbia area, do you find yourself going to the closest grocery store or do you have a particular favorite?
