WHAT/WHEN: Memorial Day Weekend Sampling Event

To kick off the official start of the grilling season, The Fresh Market will host Memorial Day Weekend sampling events on Saturday, May 27 and Sunday, May 28 at all 174 store locations.

In typical backyard-barbeque fashion, The Fresh Market will fire-up its grill for a neighborhood-style cookout with a variety of fresh-ground burgers, savory buns from the bakery, traditional condiments and a seasonal selection of hand-picked produce and summer sides to make every day eating experiences – such as sharing a meal al fresco – extraordinary.

Saturday, May 27 and Sunday, May 28 from 1-5 p.m.
