Fresh Market is a chain of supermarkets based in Greensboro. It was founded by Ray and Beverly Berry in 1982. The Fresh Market was first privately owned, then publicly traded and then a privately held company. It had expanded into California and the mid-west, but it appears those stores have closed. In May 2022, Cencosud, a Chilean retail company, acquired a 67% stake in Fresh Market.* Indeed, we are curious as to how a company in Chile, South America became interested in this grocery store that got its start in Greensboro.
The above photo was taken at the Lawndale Avenue location, emphasizing the seating area where customers are welcome to sit and eat. Their "grab and go" section of salads, sandwiches, freshly squeezed juices, and more, has expanded significantly with the feel of a New York City deli. If a friend says, "Meet me at Fresh Market for lunch," we suggest you give it a try. Plus, all those planters of orchids make a beautiful backdrop.

There's one grocer I can think of here that has an eating place inside.
