A Fresh Perspective on Grocery Shopping

For nearly 80 years, Grocery Outlet has redefined grocery shopping by providing customers with high-quality products at incredible savings. What began in 1946 as a small military surplus store has grown into the nation’s largest extreme-value grocery retailer, now with over 400 locations across the United States. Known for its unique sourcing strategy—offering surplus inventory, products with packaging changes and other discounts—Grocery Outlet allows shoppers to enjoy savings of up to 70% on name-brand items every day.

The new Wilde Lake Grocery Outlet, led by owner Jay Mirza and his dedicated team, brings this innovative approach to Howard County. With a focus on personalized service and community engagement, the store is poised to become an integral part of the Wilde Lake neighborhood, offering more than just groceries—it’s a place where neighbors connect, and families benefit from affordable, high-quality essentials.
