A physical expansion was one of The Fresh Market’s most recent plays. The retailer has opened a new store in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, marking its 48th in Florida. The new 24,034-square-foot store aims to delight the community with a curated shopping journey.
“Our new store in Lakewood Ranch offers more than just fresh food; it's a place to grab a coffee with friends, enjoy a slice of Hot & Fresh pizza, or try a new smoothie,” said Jason Potter, Chief Executive Officer. “With a full-service coffee station and a variety of ready-to-eat options, The Fresh Market is a go-to for quick bites, dinner solutions, and everyday occasions. We're thrilled to be part of this community and bring the best of The Fresh Market to Lakewood Ranch, Florida.”
The new store will offer full-service deli, meat, seafood, bakery, produce, and floral departments with the highest quality ingredients, in addition to a variety of specialty products, including wine and cheese.
Other features include:
To celebrate the grand opening, the first 500 guests received a customized Lakewood Ranch shopping bag, a press release stated. In addition, a “bread breaking” ceremony, vendor sampling, specialty presentations, giveaways, live music performed by award-winning international concert cellist Steve Kramer, and a check presentation to Feeding Tampa Bay were held to officially welcome Lakewood Ranch guests to The Fresh Market.
Guests can also sign up and start saving with The Fresh Market’s The Ultimate Loyalty Experience that’s free to join. Guests can also shop online and enjoy curbside pickup or home delivery through The Fresh Market's website or mobile app.
