The Fresh Market's new store in Framingham, Mass.
The Fresh Market has expanded its presence in Massachusetts ahead of the December holidays as the grocer celebrated the grand opening of two new locations.
The new store in Mansfield at 280 School Street is joined by the new Farmingham store at 84 Worcester Road.
Highlights of the new stores include fresh, local, and organic products along with a variety of curated ready-to-eat meals.
"The Fresh Market really shines during the holiday season, and we are thrilled to bring The Fresh Market experience to Mansfield and Framingham," said Jason Potter, CEO of The Fresh Market. "The Fresh Market is the fresh food destination for our guests, offering high-quality products and convenient options that inspire delicious meals and create memorable occasions.”
Ready-to-eat selections include in-house smoked pit BBQ featuring fresh brisket, ribs, and pork along with fresh pizza made with artisanal crust, sauce made from Italian-grown crushed tomatoes and salt, and topped with BelGioioso mozzarella cheese.
The Fresh Market supports local food banks in its mission to eliminate food insecurity in the communities they serve. The Fresh Market leadership team presented representatives from Greater Boston Food Bank with a check for $4,000, which marks a beginning of an ongoing relationship that all stores continue to foster with their local food banks.
The new stores are open seven days a week, with operating hours from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
