Foodies can anticipate more flavor this spring as The Fresh Market celebrates the grand opening of its new location at CityPlace Doral on Wednesday, May 24. Located at 3580 NW 83rd Ave., the new 26,000 square-foot store will be the specialty grocer’s 46th store in the state of Florida and 175th store nationwide.
