January 1, 2018
Mother’s Market and Kitchen, a natural and organic foods retailer with seven Orange County, Calif. stores, is expanding and renovating its Laguna Woods store located at 24165 Paseo De Valencia to accommodate increased traffic, customer demand and company growth.
As part of the store expansion, Mother’s will be adding about 5,000 square feet to its current 10,000 with plans for completion in October 2015. “Our Laguna Woods store, which has become a corner stone of the community, continues to experience increased traffic,” says Alejandro Martinez, store manager for Mother’s Market Laguna Woods. “By expanding and renovating the store, we’ll be able to offer a greater depth of product selection, wider aisles and more features – all of which will contribute to enhancing the customer shopping experience.” With the store expansion, Mother’s Market plans to add more employees in a few areas, including food service where it will expand its popular “grab & go” deli foods, hot food bar and salad bar. As part of the renovations, the store made important upgrades including new state-of-the-art lighting, which will offer energy savings and support California’s new Title 24 standards. The renovation and expansion effort is being led by Al Almond, general contractor. “We are proud to offer a refreshing shopping experience for our customers, vendors and employees and an opportunity to expand on many key aspects that Mother’s offers to the community,” says Mo Payette, chief operating officer of Mother’s Market and Kitchen, based in Costa Mesa, Calif. “So far, our customers are excited and appreciative of phase one and are looking forward to the next phases as this project unfolds.” Founded in 1978, Mother’s Market & Kitchen is a leading natural and organic foods retailer serving Orange County, Calif.
