Since we first opened our doors in Greensboro, NC, 40 years ago, we have continued to offer our guests the freshest, most delicious food and the highest quality of service.

This month, we invite guests to come celebrate our 40th anniversary with us. As you shop the store, you will notice that each of our departments has created and curated special, exclusive products that not only embody the origins of our brand, but more importantly, we know you’ll enjoy.

Throughout our store, you’ll discover commemorative must-haves for the summer. Our Meat and Seafood Departments have gourmet burgers, skewers and seafood sauced and ready for the grill.

It’s summer and stone fruit has arrived in our Produce Department, picked only when it’s ready to ensure it’s the freshest and the most delicious. From floral bouquets and confections to our limited-edition anniversary wine, we continue to strive to make all your celebrations special.

Finally, thank you for being a part of our family at The Fresh Market. We look forward to bringing only the best to you for another 40 years.

Welcome to The Fresh Market: A SENSORY EXPER I EN CE Stepping into The Fresh Market is a delight for the senses. The sights, smells and even sounds combine for a shopping experience like no other.

40 STORIES FOR 40 YEARS

EUROPEAN-INSPIRED CHARM

A trip to Europe inspired founders Ray and Beverly Berry to bring the feel of an open, European-style food market to the United States. Their concept of an intimate and personalized shopping experience endures today— at the original location in Greensboro, NC, and at each of the 160 stores that followed. The farmers market atmosphere comes alive with fresh-cut flowers, locally grown produce, an Old World-style butcher shop and fish market, an in-store bakery and more.

40 STORIES FOR 40 YEARS

A CLASSICAL SOUNDTRACK Have you ever stopped to notice the music that drifts down from the ceiling inside The Fresh Market? You won’t hear any soft pop or elevator Muzak. Instead, there’s an elegant soundtrack of classical music playing. This detailed touch was part of Ray and Beverly Berry’s original vision for a relaxing and personable place to shop.

40 STORIES FOR 40 YEARS

A COFFEE LOVER’S DREAM

As soon as you walk in the front door, you smell it: the rich and complex aromas of roasted coffee beans. Made with top-tier 100% Arabica beans, our coffees come in a variety of options, including blend, single-origin and organic. Plus, we have one of the largest assortments of flavored coffees around—with both everyday and seasonal flavors.

But the best part? Buying a cup to sip as you browse the store. It’s truly coffee bliss!

At 40, we keep getting better!

The fresh look you see pictured here is our flagship store in Greensboro, NC. In honor of our 40th anniversary, we’ll be bringing this look to The Fresh Market in your neighborhood by 2024. Look for enhanced lighting and signage, a more intuitive layout for easier shopping, and clean, modern design updates inside and out. Here’s to the next 40 years!

Welcome to our Floral Department, where a vibrant display of rainbow-hued petals and a fresh floral scent greets every guest.

40 STORIES FOR 40 YEARS

A BLOOMING BUSINESS

With more than 300 varieties of year-round and seasonal blooms, The Fresh Market is an all-occasion floral destination. You’re sure to find what you’re looking for, whether it’s a bouquet of fresh-cut flowers or a potted plant to take home or give as a gift. In addition to perennial favorites like spring tulips, late-summer sunflowers, fall mums, holiday poinsettias and more, we’re particularly proud of our roses, lilies and orchids.

We partner with world-renowned growers to bring you some of the highest quality flowers you can buy. Once they arrive in our stores, our expert floral specialists ensure they stay in tiptop condition until you take them home.

R OS E S Our carefully sourced selection of roses features vibrant, longlasting varieties, including clustered spray roses, potted mini roses, dozen-rose bunches and our stunning 18-stem Premium Roses. These bold and beautiful PassionRoses are sustainably grown on farms in the sunny mountains of South America.

They’re the official rose of the Rose Bowl, Tony Awards and Miss America Competition.

LILIES

O R CH I DS

With their big, showy blooms and long vase life, lilies are some of the most sought-after flowers of spring and early summer. They’re among the easiest perennials to grow, and their fresh-cut stems are an especially elegant choice for bouquets. One of our favorite varieties are Rose Lilies, with their rose-like double blossoms and no messy pollen.

Grown in state-of-the-art greenhouses in Hawaii, Florida and the Midwest, our showstopping orchids are among the highest quality you can find. Choose the variety that best fits your décor, from our breathtaking Premium Orchids and elegant Waterfall Orchids to our vibrant Orchid Gardens and petite Tabletop Orchids.

has been our middle name for 40 years Here in our Produce Department, you’ll find in-season fruits and veggies at the just-picked peak of ripeness—we make sure of it!

40 STORIES FOR 40 YEARS

PICK OF THE SEASON

How can we guarantee we’re offering the freshest, highest quality produce around?

Our produce curators cultivate long-term relationships with growers who carefully select only the biggest and best fruits and veggies and harvest them at just the right time for maximum flavor. Then, we make sure the produce gets to our stores as quickly as possible after harvest—often having fruits and veggies flown in rather than shipped by boat. Working with a global network of growers also helps us bring in a huge selection of produce—nearly three times as much as other grocers—from unique heirloom vegetable varietals to organic and sustainably grown selections.

T I TA N FA R M S CA R LY L E ’S CH O I CE P E ACH E S To achieve mouthwatering, tree-ripened perfection, these ready-to-eat South Carolina peaches are left on the tree three to five days longer than standard peaches. They’re picked by hand and packaged in 100% recyclable materials.

In Season

S TO N E F R U I T Summer is peak season for stone fruits, named for the hard pit—or stone—in the center. Think peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots and cherries. The Fresh Market also brings in flavorful hybrids, like plumcots, apriums and pluots. Each brings a distinctive taste that blends the best attributes of plums and apricots. Stone fruits make delicious snacks on their own, or you can use them in a variety of recipes, from cobblers to summer salads.

40 STORIES FOR 40 YEARS

COOKING, SIMPLIFIED!

At The Fresh Market, we strive to make everyday eating extraordinary—but also easy! That’s why we offer more than 50 varieties of pre-sliced fruits and veggies for snacking or to use in your favorite recipes. You can also choose from more than 15 kinds of prepped and seasoned veggies to simply pop in the microwave. They’re hand-cut daily, so you know they’re fresh. And with all the chopping and dicing done for you, there’s nothing left to do but enjoy!

SUPPORTING LOCAL FARMERS

The farmers market vibe in our Produce Department is in large part thanks to the relationships that our food curators build with farmers located near our stores. They not only allow us to continue our legacy of offering regionally relevant produce and other items—they also help our guests give back to their communities by supporting local growers.

F R A N K D O N I O, I N C Hammonton, NJ

One of those local growers is Frank Donio, Inc., a fourth-generation family-led operation based in New Jersey. Since the original Donio began delivering produce for local farmers in a single truck, his company has grown into a leading, year-round grower, packer and wholesaler of quality produce. In addition to blueberries, corn, cucumbers, peppers and eggplant, Donio also grows summer squash—the vibrant yellow star of our Ratatouille recipe.

Ask our expert butchers how to build the perfect burger, and they’ll tell you to start with ground chuck.

Its higher fat content translates into a tender texture and full flavor.

At The Fresh Market, we strive for chuck that’s 85% lean. We grind it in-store daily and only sell it the same day it’s ground. You can buy it by the pound or take home our made-in-store patties in flavors like Bacon Cheddar, Bleu Cheese or Portabella Gouda.

ULTIMATE THOMAS SAUCE CHICKEN SKEWERS

40 STORIES FOR 40 YEARS

WHY WE AGE OUR STEAKS

The best way to ensure beef is tender and flavorful is to age it.

Done under controlled refrigerated conditions, aging is a natural process that allows the muscle to break down, resulting in a more tender cut of beef. We age our steaks for at least 14 days—the amount of time it takes to achieve maximum tenderness.

Parmigiano Reggiano has been made in Parma, Italy, for more than 800 years.

In their search for the perfect Parmigiano Reggiano, our cheese experts sampled cheeses from some of Italy’s most renowned dairies before selecting “Dairy 2121,” a small-batch cooperative on the border of Parma and Reggio Emilia. Aged 24 months, our Parmigiano Reggiano has the perfect balance of nutty, fruity flavors and deliciously creamy texture.

For many employees, working at The Fresh Market is a family affair. Mother and son Rebecca and Ethan Bischoff work together at our store in Wilmington, NC. When asked about their favorite part of working at The Fresh Market, their answer is the same: “Interacting with our guests. They’re like family to us.” Rebecca started working at the front of the store in Guest Services 15 years ago. Ethan started at age 18 and has taken the opportunity to work in a few different departments. “I can take a guest to anywhere in the store to find what they need,” he says. When not working, Rebecca enjoys her hobby farm—raising chickens and geese and working in her garden. Ethan is a sports guy, playing on league softball, flag football and basketball teams.

What inspired you to become a chef? Did you always want to pursue culinary arts?

Curiosity inspired me; curiosity spurred by the kitchen environment—its creativity, camaraderie and excitement. It’s like being on a sports team and every day is different. I didn’t know a thing about any of that until I got my feet wet with a dishwashing job as a teenager. So, no, I didn’t always want to pursue the culinary arts. As a kid, if someone had asked me about that I wouldn’t have known what they were talking about. I wasn’t even interested in food. My mother wasn’t a good cook and neither was my grandmother. I’m not one of those chefs with fond memories of cooking with multiple generations in the kitchen. It wasn’t until I was working in a professional kitchen that I realized there was career potential for me in food. I saw there was a ladder that could be climbed and felt I could do it and do it well.

Cooking with DAVI D BU R KE Known as much for his playful personality and whimsical presentations as his culinary genius, Chef David Burke is a pioneer in American cooking. At age 26, the New Jersey native earned his first executive chef position at New York City’s legendary River Café. His career skyrocketed from there as he received rave reviews (including a coveted three-star New York Times review) and won numerous awards. Burke has also opened several successful restaurants, appeared as a frequent guest on TV’s Top Chef, authored two cookbooks and introduced his own line of cookware. @chefdavidburke

How did you earn the nickname “The Culinary Prankster”?

TimeOut New York once gave me the title of Best Culinary Prankster. They made it a category one year for their annual awards. But I think Gael Greene, the legendary New York Magazine food critic, first used the term for me. Might have been culinary jokester or maybe even trickster. Prankster, jokester, trickster, they all refer to the playful approach I have always taken with my menus and food. I use humorous verbiage on menus (“angry lobster” and “couch potatoes”), and I have fun with presentations. An item that’s a signature at almost all my restaurants is black pepper and maple glazed bacon that hangs from a miniature clothesline, attached by mini clothespins.

It makes people smile. Sometimes the humor or whimsy is the main ingredient itself. I gave smoked salmon a pastrami persona, poached pork shank in pork and duck fat (which some thought was a joke until USA Today named it “Best Dish in America”), and created swordfish chops, which we numbered like the duck at Tour d’Argent in Paris.

Although picking your favorite restaurant could be likened to picking your favorite child, do you have a favorite restaurant that you’ve opened? If so, what’s special to you about it?

I don’t have a current favorite restaurant and don’t want to. I think it’s better for me to embrace a distinct aspect of each one that I particularly like.

Maybe it’s the way some of my artwork is displayed in one or the kitchen design of another. But I have had a favorite and that was David Burke & Donatella, which was world-class in every sense of the phrase.

It was my first real venture with my own money and I helped design it. We had a tiny kitchen loaded with pure talent and we did the impossible—daily.

Throughout your career, you’ve won numerous awards, is there one that means the most to you?

No one made much of a big deal about it at the time, but it was the Nippon Award for Excellence presented by the government of Japan in 1988.

I was also the only American to ever receive the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France Diplome d’Honneur. And probably the last because the French were so upset it had gone to an American! It was a great honor, too, but somehow the Nippon award had—and has—more significance for me. Maybe because it was from a foreign government in recognition of my creativity and skill, as opposed to being the result of a competition, which is what the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France is. I’m also very proud of having been named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year for New Jersey in 2021, because it’s a business award, not a culinary one.

What is your greatest accomplishment?

Being alive at 60 with so many exciting projects on my plate.

That’s the short, flip answer. The more thoughtful one, family aisle, is having an understanding of what I’ve done and how I did it. Being able to reflect on that and to appreciate how far I’ve come. I went to Paris for my birthday in February.

Having lived there as a student, working for free to learn all I could, it was great to

GRILLED S T E A K W IT H P E ACH ES stay at the best hotels and eat at the best restaurants. It felt good—I feel good about where I am, not cocky, but good and I think that’s a great accomplishment. I’m looking forward to the next decade of creating, sharing and learning.

In 2021, Ernest & Young honored you with the Community Impact Award.

Why is community advocacy and philanthropy important to you?

I’ve done charity work all my career and happily so. Chefs are nurturers; giving back and helping people are elemental to us. That’s part of our nature and part of hospitality, which is all about being of service. If you don’t take care of your community, it falls apart. We should never forget that.

What are some ingredients or items that you are sure to never run out of in your kitchen?

Bacon! We always have lots of bacon. Also red meat because we have aging boxes full of it. We age our beef with a Himalayan pink salt process for which I hold a U.S. Patent. So, we always have plenty of that salt, too. Lobster dumplings and our cheesecake pops are also always on hand. Then, of course, there are the basics like regular salt, pepper, butter and olive oil.

SCAN QR CODE FOR RECIPE

After decades of culinary success, television appearances and innovation, what direction do you see yourself going into next?

I want to go into education with a cooking school of some sort. I can see myself teaching at the bakery I bought in May that’s been an anchor in its community for 85 years. Called Dixie Lee, it will continue to be a community asset with expanded offerings and new programming like cooking classes. I’m also working on a realty TV show about a culinary apprenticeship program I want to operate from my house.
