WSM Welcomes Global Foods to the East County

Ike Leggett, County Executive at March 9 Grand Opening
As part of our initiative to connect businesses with qualified County employees, we are supporting Global Foods, a local grocery store that specializes in fruit, vegetables and ethnic food from around the world, to recruit several positions for its newest location in Briggs Chaney Plaza.
“We were connected to WorkSource Montgomery through the County and are so thankful to them for all of their assistance in helping us recruit key positions,” said Jai Kim, head of real estate for Global Foods.
“For example,” continued Kim, “WorkSource is helping us recruit cashiers. This is an important position because we do not have any self-check-out lanes — it simply would be too complicated with all the different product codes due to the variety of international fruits and vegetables we carry.”

Global Foods opened in early March and is located in the space previously occupied by Safeway, off Route 29 in the eastern part of Montgomery County
