The Fresh Market Opens in Florida

The Fresh Market, Inc. recently opened in Port St. Lucie, Florida, marking the first store for the specialty food retailer in the city and its 47th in Florida.

The 23,424-square-foot location offers a selection of fresh produce, premium meats, seafood, bakery items, and specialty products, including wine and cheese. Specializing in high-quality meats, the store offers dry aging for preferred cuts. Provided by The Fresh Market’s own fish houses, and locally sourced, a selection of whole or fresh-cut fish, shellfish, and live lobster will also be available.

A prominent feature of the location includes the center store culinary kitchen called "The Square." All items are created with distinct flavors, fresh ingredients, and recipes uniquely developed by The Fresh Market, according to the company.

Other attributes include a made-to-order station with fully customizable brown rice bowls, salads, sandwiches, and chicken tortilla soup with lime crema. The area also presents hot foods, including smoked salmon, rotating seasonal hot sides, and BBQ sold by the pound or as a platter.

A coffee station, The Fresh Market’s Coffee by the Cup, offers six of The Fresh Market’s coffees as a free sample while customers shop or to purchase by the cup. The coffees are also available to buy as whole bean to brew at home. The location has a self-service automated coffee station to make espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, and hot chocolate, as well. 

"We are thrilled to bring The Fresh Market experience to the vibrant community of Port St. Lucie," said Jason Potter, CEO of The Fresh Market, in a statement. "Our team has worked diligently to create a welcoming environment where guests can find the freshest ingredients, exceptional service, and unique offerings."
