The Fresh Market Set To Open Scarsdale Store

The Fresh Market is set to expand its presence in New York with a new store in Scarsdale.

Its newest location at 723 White Plains Road is the company's second store in New York.

“We are excited to open our store in Scarsdale and to expand our reach in New York,” said Craig Carlock, the company’s president and chief executive officer, who noted the store will bring 90 new jobs to the area. “We look forward to introducing The Fresh Market’s concept of quality perishables, excellent customer service and a unique atmosphere to an expanded customer base, and we look forward to offering neighboring communities a rewarding new food shopping experience.”

The new store is set to open at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 18, and grand opening activities are scheduled to include chef demonstrations, food sampling throughout the store, and drawings for The Fresh Market gift cards. A reusable shopping bag and sample-sized bag of the company’s gourmet coffee will be free to the first 1,000 customers, according to The Fresh Market.

The new Scarsdale store includes:

— More than 21,700 square feet of space

— A bakery that produces 30 freshly baked breads and 14 different pie varieties daily

— A full service meat counter with freshly ground beef, a wide selection of ready-to-serve entrées

— Fresh seafood delivered to the store several times per week

— More than 200 imported and domestic cheeses

— A produce department with more than 400 items and a large organic selection.

“Our customers enjoy shopping in an environment that appeals to all the senses," Carlock said. "The smell of freshly brewed coffee and bread right out of the oven, the sound of classical music, soft lighting with antique décor in an intimate setting, and the ability to select and taste fresh, high-quality products all work together to create surroundings where customers are encouraged to experience the food.”

Founded in 1982, The Fresh Market Inc. operates 111 stores in 21 states, located in the Southeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast, with plans for continued expansion throughout the country.
