Dawson’s Market is a grocery store with some serious standards. The small-but-mighty space boasts an impressive selection of goods, plus in-store events that keep locals coming back. But Dawson’s Market doesn’t end the commitment to the neighborhood there. The store is dedicated to customer empowerment by being completely transparent about all the food they sell. They don’t advertise to children, sell items with GMOs, or ship in products from the cheapest supplier. Dawson’s Market focuses on locally grown and prepared foods, and it’s a difference you can taste. The grocer is also taking the COVID crisis seriously, with limited entry, additional sanitizing, and vulnerable shopper times. You can take advantage of curbside pick-up or delivery to further limit your exposure. Find Dawson’s Market in Rockville, on North Washington Street. Dine in capabilities and the hot food bar are currently closed, but the shelves are stocked (thanks to Dawson’s Market’s great relationship with local suppliers).
