Premium grocery chain The Fresh Market has earned the top spot across all categories in USA TODAY’s prestigious 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, including Best Grocery Store, Best Store Bakery, Best Store Deli, Best Store for Produce, and Best Store Prepared Food. It’s the first time they’ve secured first place in every major category.
The 10Best nominations are curated by food experts and contributors, with winners selected by public vote that spans 28 days. The wins highlight the grocer’s appeal and strong customer loyalty nationwide.
The Fresh Market CEO Brian Johnson said, “First, I want to thank our guests for such a strong show of support. The guest experience is at the foundation of everything we do at The Fresh Market, and for guests to recognize us as the best in so many categories is truly an honor and proof that our brand of impeccable hospitality is a differentiator in the industry.”
Johnson continued by saying, “Next, I want to thank our team members for creating an award-winning, premium retail experience. Without your attention to detail and your commitment to guest service and making everyday eating extraordinary, we would not be receiving these awards today.”
Finishing his remarks, Johnson added, “We welcome everyone to come and enjoy our best-in-class grocery experience as we continue to offer the highest quality fresh foods, interesting product assortment, including local favorites, paired with our signature impeccable hospitality.”
This sweep of the 10Best Awards adds to an impressive year for The Fresh Market. In addition to the USA TODAY honors, the grocer was also recognized by Newsweek as the top retailer in the Specialty/Natural/Ethnic Grocers category. Its private label products also received honors at the Vertex Awards for packaging excellence.
