PITTSBURGH, PA — The Fresh Market, a national grocery chain known for its fresh and curated products, will move into the former Whole Foods space on Centre Avenue in East Liberty.
The move, orchestrated by Pittsburgh restaurant owner and real estate executive Herky Pollock, was announced Wednesday by the CBRE real estate firm.
The building was originally constructed for Whole Foods in 2002. The space has been vacant since
2022 when Whole Foods expanded to a new, larger space a few blocks away along Penn Avenue.

“This is a hugely transformative signing for Eastside and one that fully validates the strength of the shopping center, trade area and the urban core of Pittsburgh,” Pollock said in a news release. “This is a tremendous outcome for all of these stakeholders. We cannot wait until this opens in early 2025.”
This will mark The Fresh Market's second location in Western Pennsylvania and first in the city. They have one other location in Mt. Lebanon on Washington Road.
