Every aisle invites discovery into the specialty grocer’s distinctive flavors and tastes from local neighbors and from around the world.

At The Fresh Market, guests will be able to explore and experience:
Delicious Meal Solutions – The Fresh Market’s signature Little Big Meal program has been taking the guesswork out of preparing a deliciously different dinner at an affordable price for busy families each week since 2014 – and now, a dedicated, interactive sampling station will offer tastes of the weekly dish. On-the-go shoppers can also enjoy flavorful “Meals in Minutes,” featuring prepackaged fresh ingredients from the seafood and produce departments, ready to bake or microwave and serve. Satisfying salads and ready-to-eat Bistro Comfort Bowls are available in the deli department. The Fresh Market’s meal solutions deliver a thoughtful and innovative range of options for any dining occasion or cooking ability, while helping guests discover new flavors.  

Curated Specialty Items – The Fresh Market has partnered with local farmers, merchants and culinary entrepreneurs for over 35 years to bring top-quality, small-batch and specialty items straight to each store’s shelves. Inspiration can be found in every department with a variety of flavors from the exotic to the local, such as Naturalmond. The premium almond butter is made from a family recipe and contains only simple, all natural ingredients without any added sugars, oils or emulsifiers. Additionally, guests will now find more daily essentials alongside specialty items, including an expanded grocery selection; household items; baby food; and pet food and treats for four-legged friends. Throughout the store, aisles will be specially labeled with new signage to help guide those shopping with dietary restrictions or food allergies to a robust selection of products.

The Fresh Market invites its Atlanta-area neighbors to celebrate their local store updates with events at its 11 area locations on Wednesday, August 9 beginning at 10 a.m. Festivities will continue through Sunday, August 13 with not-to-miss cooking demonstrations, in-store sampling, live entertainment, special deals and free giveaways.
