History
Established in 1988, Seven Mile Market was created to serve Baltimore’s Jewish population, which numbers around 100,000. Its name originates from its initial site on Seven Mile Lane. Prior to this venture, the proprietor managed a smaller store known as Jack's.
Throughout the 2000s, the store capitalized on increasing interest in kosher food, appealing not only to those who keep kosher but also to customers attracted by superior cleanliness standards.
In 2002, Seven Mile Market resolved a lawsuit concerning ADA compliance brought by an individual using a wheelchair.
The market underwent significant expansion in 2010 by relocating into a former Safeway facility on Reisterstown Road next to its original premises. This move nearly doubled the store’s footprint, establishing it as the largest kosher supermarket nationwide. The previous Safeway location had contained a kosher deli that closed due to competition from Seven Mile Market. Before this expansion, Rockland Kosher in Monsey, New York held the title for the largest kosher supermarket based on retail area.
