The Fresh Market Opens First Dallas-Fort Worth Store
DALLAS, TX - The Fresh Market has entered the Dallas market with a new store opening. The new store, which opened on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2014, will be the company's 5th Texas location. Local growers and producers will be featured prominently in the new store, with a strong selection of fresh, locally sourced produce.
“We are excited to open our new store in Dallas and to expand our reach in Texas,” said Craig Carlock, President and CEO. “We look forward to introducing The Fresh Market’s concept of quality perishables, excellent customer service and a unique atmosphere to an expanded customer base, and we look forward to offering neighboring communities a rewarding new food shopping experience.”
The new store includes over 24,000 square feet of varied grocery offerings, including:
- A fully stocked produce department complete with over 400 items and a large organic selection.
- A bakery that produces 30 freshly baked breads and 14 different pie varieties each day.
- A full service meat counter with freshly ground beef, a wide selection of ready-to-serve entrées, fresh seafood delivered to the store several times per week, and more than 200 imported and domestic cheeses.
“The Fresh Market’s inviting atmosphere is reminiscent of European markets,” Carlock shared. “Our customers enjoy shopping in an environment that appeals to all the senses. The smell of freshly brewed coffee and bread right out of the oven, the sound of classical music, soft lighting with antique décor in an intimate setting, and the ability to select and taste fresh, high-quality products all work together to create surroundings where customers are encouraged to experience the food.”
According to a press release, this new store represents a significant investment in the Dallas community. Not only will the new store bring roughly 90 new jobs to the area, most of which will be filled locally, but The Fresh Market will be partnering with the North Texas Food Bank by providing regular donations of food.
Congratulations on the opening of this exciting new store, The Fresh Market!
