The Fresh Market Opens Two New Stores in Lexington and Chicago’s Old Town Download PDF
Guests in attendance for both opening days enjoyed stores stocked with an enticing selection of high-quality meats and seafood, along with fresh produce, local finds and a unique collection of international products. In keeping with its commitment to supporting local communities, The Fresh Market also donated $2,000 to God’s Pantry Food Bank and the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
The Fresh Market will host a larger grand opening celebration Saturday, Dec. 13, complete with giveaways, samples and the ceremonial cracking of an 80-pound wheel of Parmesan. “There’s truly no place like The Fresh Market during the holidays, and we’re thrilled to celebrate this season with our new guests in Lexington and Old Town,” said The Fresh Market CEO Brian Johnson. “We’re excited to be a part of these two wonderful communities and look forward to bringing our signature impeccable hospitality, curated product offerings including the highest quality fresh foods, and elevated shopping experience that transforms everyday eating into extraordinary moments.”
The two new stores cap off what has been a growth year for the award-winning premium grocer, which opened seven new stores and debuted a liquor store concept.
