The Fresh Market is a chain of gourmet supermarkets based in North Carolina. The Fresh Market was founded by Ray and Beverly Berry on March 8, 1982 in Greensboro, North Carolina. The Berry's idea was to develop a better grocery store that brought back the feeling of open European style markets with smaller, service oriented and focused on perishable goods.[1] The Fresh Market evolved into a chain of 80 stores in 18 southern, midwestern and mid-atlantic states.
