More Details Announced for The Fresh Market's Grand Opening

The Fresh Market, Inc. was founded with one simple goal in mind: to bring friends, family and neighbors high-quality products in a warm and friendly atmosphere with superior customer service, according to a company release.

On October 21 at 8:00 a.m., the specialty grocer invites you to celebrate the grand opening of its Guilford store, the company’s third store in the state of Connecticut.

WHO: The Fresh Market is a true neighborhood market that has built its reputation as a unique food destination store with a focus on inspiring its customers to make every meal extraordinary. With the opening of the Guilford store, the specialty grocer now operates 180 stores in the Southeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, with plans for continued expansion.

WHAT: The Fresh Market – Guilford Grand Opening

Grand opening festivities will begin at 8:00 with a “Cracking of the Parmesan,” a gourmet version of the traditional ribbon-cutting event. This will be followed by a day of opening activities which include a free sample-sized bag of coffee and a free reusable shopping bag to the first 1,000 customers, food sampling stations from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and chef demonstrations from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Additionally, customers attending the grand opening can sign up for the store’s weekly “Fresh Ideas” e-mail and enter drawings for $100 The Fresh Market Gift Cards. Five drawings will be held for customers who register between Wednesday, October 21 and Sunday, October 25.
