One of Baltimore’s food deserts became less arid last week, when a new grocery store opened in the Mount Clare Junction Shopping Center.
Jumbo Fresh Supermarket is the name of the operation, which replaced the Price Rite market that closed at the end of 2022. Its closing left a large swath of Southwest Baltimore without a full service grocery store nearby.
Hundreds of shoppers came to check out the new store over the weekend, and many said they were impressed by what they saw. In addition to brand products and fresh and organic produce, Jumbo Fresh carries spices and other items from a variety of cultures, including Asian, West African, Hispanic and Caribbean foods.
