The Fresh Market

Let me start by mentioning the top notch cashier crew. Always kind, smiling, courteous and very helpful. Last week, my cashier, Hope, mentioned a great deal on Wednesdays through The Fresh Market program where if you buy six bottles of wine, you get a 20% discount as well as a lovely wine bag. The Fresh Market rewards program is absolutely stellar. I’m probably in there three or four times a week to take advantage of the excellent daily deals. Their rotisserie chicken, pizzas, fresh meats are always top quality and tasty. You cannot beat the prices and the rewards that they give you on top of it. I highly recommend signing up for the app and rewards program 👍

I love the Fresh Market. They don’t do delivery out here so I take advantage of the curbside pick up. I’ve experienced a lot of problems lately with the texting alerts. I get a text saying there’s been a substitution and click here to view. I click on it and every single time it takes me to a page to enter my address for delivery. There’s no way to navigate out of it so I enter my address but says they don’t deliver to me and again, no way to navigate out of it to review my substitutions. Shoppers don’t respond to my texts. Today I ordered a five pound bag of russet potatoes and they substituted two giant baking potatoes. Each weighing almost a pound. I don’t think that’s a good substitute for a five pound bag! They really need to work on this!! Also in the meat and fish departments it’s very hard to make them understand I want two NY Strips, 12 Oz each and not one 24oz!😂

I typically shop at Fresh Market once per week. You cannot beat their meat specials, and the quality of the meat is far superior to that at any of the other local markets. Their fresh bread and produce are also excellent. I enjoy the serenity of shopping in the store (love the classical music and sample coffee) and look forward to the end of the Coronavirus lockdown so I may return. You can find great deals on pantry items too. I wish they would offer more samples of their specialty products. I’m happy to spend money on a good product, but I’m less inclined to pay a steep price for a product with which I’m not familiar. The only item I’ve not been happy with is their milk. The last one I purchased was spoiled before the date on the carton. I would have returned it, but I’ve not ventured out due to the virus.
