The Fresh Market Expands in Florida
The Fresh Market has expanded its presence in Florida with the opening of its newest store in Port St. Lucie.
The 23,424-square-foot store is the grocer’s 47th location in the Sunshine State and will offer shoppers a wide selection of fresh produce, premium meats, seafood, bakery items and a variety of specialty products, including wine and cheese. The store will offer dry aging for preferred cuts of meat and the seafood selection will be provided by The Fresh Market’s own fish houses.
"We are thrilled to bring The Fresh Market experience to the vibrant community of Port St. Lucie," said Jason Potter, CEO of The Fresh Market. "Our team has worked diligently to create a welcoming environment where guests can find the freshest ingredients, exceptional service and unique offerings."
To celebrate the grand opening, a “bread breaking” ceremony, vendor sampling, specialty presentations, giveaways, live music performed by members of the Atlantic Classical Orchestra, and a check presentation to The Treasure Coast Food Bank were held. The Fresh Market also presented the Food Bank with a check for $2,000.
The Port St. Lucie location will be the third The Fresh Market store that will provide ongoing weekly food donations to The Treasure Coast Food Bank each week to help feed people facing hunger. It’s all a part of The Fresh Market’s commitment to supporting the communities it serves through Feeding America® local partner food banks.
The new store also offers several features for coffee lovers, with upgrades in offering and technology:
- The Fresh Market’s Coffee by the Cup offers a wide array of unique and curated flavors, including seasonal blends. Guests can choose from six of The Fresh Market’s coffees as a free sample while they shop or to purchase by the cup, with every cup ground and brewed fresh to order from The Fresh Market’s new bean to cup machines. The coffees are also available to purchase as whole bean to brew at home.
- The new self-service, fully automated coffee station expands its offering to include espresso, lattes, cappuccino, mochas and hot chocolate.
