History

edit

Mother's Market was founded in 1978 by a group of yoga enthusiasts in Costa Mesa.[2]

In 2016, Mother's Market was acquired by private equity group Mill Road Capital.[3][4]

As of 2024, they have 11 locations in Southern California.[5]

In 2026, Mother’s Market workers announced a union campaign with United Food and Commercial Workers named “Hearts United” at the company’s stores, citing staffing shortages, scheduling issues, and low pay.[6]
