Guests and local officials were welcomed with fully stocked shelves featuring an impressive assortment of premium meats and seafood, fresh seasonal produce, distinctive local offerings and a curated selection of international favorites. Reinforcing its ongoing commitment to nourishing the communities it serves, The Fresh Market team also proudly contributed $2,000 to Feeding South Florida.

“We’re thrilled to begin another year of growth for The Fresh Market with the opening of our South Miami location,” said The Fresh Market CEO Brian Johnson. “South Florida has been exceptionally welcoming to our brand, and we’re proud to bring South Miami residents our award-winning shopping experience — complete with a thoughtfully curated assortment of local and global products, the highest quality fresh foods, along with the signature hospitality that defines The Fresh Market.”

Wednesday’s ribbon-cutting marked the first of what will be two days of opening festivities. On Saturday, Jan. 31, South Miami guests will have the opportunity to experience a larger celebration complete with giveaways and food sampling throughout the store, as well as the celebratory cracking of an 80-pound wheel of Parmesan cheese. The South Miami store opening marks The Fresh Market’s 172nd location to date, with more opening announcements coming soon.
