The Fresh Market was founded in 1982 on one simple idea - to provide quality products to our friends and neighbors in a friendly and inclusive environment.  At The Fresh Market we realize that our dream could not have become a reality without the creative, diverse, and dedicated individuals that make up our family.

We know that nothing makes an experience more than the individuals with whom you share it.  That’s why The Fresh Market remains focused on attracting a diverse group of individuals who are passionately committed and personally invested in creating a delightful, safe, warm, and inclusive environment for our employees and our customers. 

As we grow and expand our family, we are determined to ensure that we provide our employees and customers an environment that demonstrates our core values of respect, integrity, and empowerment.   To remain steadfast to our principles we will continue to focus on creating an environment where individuals are encouraged to share ideas, embrace differences, and grow both professionally and personally.

We get immense satisfaction in helping others and creating the experience of heartfelt camaraderie and supportive relationships.  The Fresh Market remains a place where all individuals are valued and appreciated.

“Life is about living and appreciating each moment.  So much of our professional lives are spent in the office or the work environment.  Therefore, it is critical to be in place where you feel wanted, appreciated, and valued as an individual, professional, and human being.  That is why I chose The Fresh Market.  It is not just a mission or value statement, it is The Fresh Market way of life.  It is wonderful to be a part of a sincere company where I actually look forward to coming to work and feel empowered to express my opinions.”
