Bloom zigs while other grocery stores zag. It's a different kind of supermarket that puts the customer first. The groceries are arranged in a slightly unconventional layout to maximize shopper convenience. Then there are the easy-to-reach shelves that allow customers to scan and bag, interactive information kiosks and 20-minute up-front parking places for quick trips.
Next is the food. Fresh produce, master butchers, certified ASDA Choice Angus, and a large selection of seafood, deli, bakery specials, cheeses and flowers serve to tip the scales even further in Bloom's favor.
The selection is vast and the prices competitive for simple items such as soap, cleaning supplies and other basics you need throughout the day.
Bloom has a hassle-free pharmacy for quick and pleasant prescription pickups. Children don't object when Bloom conjures up chocolate, strawberry, vanilla or any other flavor of cough syrup.
Bloom's Montgomery County stores are in Rockville and Gaithersburg. The chain is operated by Food Lion.
