Growing Up at Glenburnie Grocery

As a rambunctious and curious young boy, Glenburnie Grocery owner Mark Rickards worked alongside his family at their country grocery store. From filling the pop cooler and carrying out groceries, to shadowing his father and eventually sharing in future business decisions with him, he's played a role for as long as he can remember.

As he grew, he realized a deep passion to maintain Glenburnie Grocery's strong community presence, promoting the wares of local farmers and making sure good quality food is available to the community.

His dedication to this goal led to 3 store expansions and an ever growing list of local suppliers and relationships.

History repeating itself?

Now, Mark's sons, Gus and Reed Rickards, can be seen frequently at the store, experiencing childhood in the business and community he did, spreading their own roots. 

In the future they may discover they share their father's passion for Glenburnie Grocery, but regardless, the store will always be a place that feels like home, as it is for the many that have frequented if for generations.
