Minimum Dignity
One of the companies I admire most is Costco. They’re not very environmental, unfortunately, but they are extremely dedicated to their employees. Back in 2008 when the economy was in a downward spiral, Founder and CEO Jim Sinegal said that … Continue reading

A Long Unicycle Ride
One of the bright spots these past few years for the environment has been the awareness and change towards saving seafood species. Greenpeace deserves a ton of credit for this. Since recently launching their seafood sustainability ratings of retailers, they … Continue reading
Better > Bigger
Our central offices are located above our Rockville store. This is deliberate. I never want the leadership of MOM’s to be removed from the day-to-day store operations. If our Rockville store has an issue, than it’s likely that the other … Continue reading
