Fresh Thyme Market will open a new concept store in St. Louis on Nov. 10, offering “real food at real affordable prices” including more than 1,000 local, artisan items, such as Bridge Bread, Prioritized Pastries, and Patty's Cheesecake, according to the retailer.

"We're thrilled to finally announce when we'll be opening our doors and welcoming the St. Louis community to our beautiful new flagship store," store director Jane Wilcox said in a statement. "Our team provides shoppers with an unparalleled grocery experience from the moment they walk in all the way through check out. We're excited to make a positive impact in the community and look forward to showing shoppers what the Fresh Thyme Market at City Foundry STL store is all about."

The historic City Foundry of St. Louis was built with the intention to serve the community by providing local residents with accessible and affordable resources. Aligning with Fresh Thyme's mission to support its local communities, the 27,000-square-foot flagship store will feature a large assortment of fresh, local, natural, and organic food, as well as national brand products at affordable prices, according to the retailer.

The store features a full-service café, offering breakfast bites, power lunches, and coffee, products from local, black women-owned businesses, and a self-checkout model.

To further support and engage within the community, Fresh Thyme Market at City Foundry STL is partnering with the St. Louis Food Bank School Market Program. This partnership provides access and choice of real food to students and families to live better and healthier lives. This commitment within the community positively impacts over 1,000 families to further deepen the store's roots in the community they serve, according to Fresh Thyme Market.
