The Fresh Market is Now Open for Business

It’s officially open for business, The Fresh Market that is. Here are some photos from the grand opening from today.

Here is the latest news on The Fresh Market from the company, which was issued just before the store opened for business this morning:

The Fresh Market would like to extend our genuine appreciation to you for assisting us with our Career Open House. Each of you had a part in creating a wonderful event for our new location in Guilford, CT.

We were able to meet and speak to numerous local residents at the Best Western Plus North Haven Hotel on September 2, 2015. Due to the outstanding response from the local communities, we will be able to select qualified candidates for our open positions. We look forward to being a part of the community.

The Fresh Market’s full-service philosophy will incorporate unparalleled product selection and expert customer service in an inviting atmosphere at 1919 Boston Post Road, in the Guilford Commons shopping center.

Doors will open at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 21, 2015 and grand opening activities will include chef demonstrations, food sampling throughout the store, and drawings for The Fresh Market gift cards. A sample-sized bag of the company’s gourmet coffee and a reusable shopping bag will be free to the first 1,000 customers.

The new Guilford store will house over 23,000 square feet of culinary delights, including a bakery that produces 30 freshly baked breads and 14 different varieties of pie daily, a full-service meat counter with freshly ground beef, a wide selection of ready-to-serve entrées, fresh seafood delivered to the store several times per week, and more than 200 imported and domestic cheeses, as well as a bountiful produce department with more than 400 items and a large organic selection.

The Fresh Market’s inviting atmosphere is reminiscent of European markets. Our customers enjoy shopping in an environment that appeals to all the senses. The smell of freshly brewed coffee and bread right out of the oven, the sound of relaxing music, soft lighting, and the ability to select and taste fresh, high-quality products all work together to create a place where customers are inspired to make every meal extraordinary.

Again, thank you for your excellent help and cooperation in making this happen; it is greatly appreciated by The Fresh Market.
