About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to The Fresh Market with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates of oranges, something peculiar happened: every time he picked up a box, it seemed heavier than the last. Finally, after what felt like hours, he finished loading and drove off. Just then, an old lady from next door walked over and asked if she could buy some oranges. ‘They’re free today!’ he joked, pointing to the empty crate. She smiled and said, 'You must be new here.'

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets were still locked tight, a delivery driver arrived at The Fresh Market with a mysterious crate marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL SUNRISE.’ As he carefully opened it, a fresh bouquet of flowers floated out, startling him. Turning around, he saw an old lady smiling from behind the counter. 'Morning, dear,' she said. 'Just our weekly surprise—fresh flowers for everyone!'

3. At closing time, as the last cashier was packing up her things, she heard someone whispering from behind the produce section. ‘Fresh market’s produce is always perfect,’ said no one in particular, but everyone could clearly hear it. As she turned around, nobody was there. Just an empty aisle and a cart full of apples. The next morning, everyone found a note on the door: 'The Fresh Market will reopen when our produce learns to keep quiet.'

4. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled up to The Fresh Market with a box of fresh produce. As he unloaded the crates, something unusual caught his eye—a small note stuck to one of the apples. Curious, he picked it up and read aloud: ‘Dear Sir, please don’t forget to wash your apples.’ A regular customer must’ve done that, he thought, smiling. But then another apple fell off the crate, revealing another note: “P.S. And don’t eat them before washing!’
