Fresh Market marks 25 years

Homegrown grocer The Fresh Market is celebrating its 25th birthday today.

The Greensboro-based retailer opened its first store at Lawndale Drive and Pisgah Church Road here on March 8, 1982. The grocer announced earlier this year its plans to relocate its original store to a neighboring lot, where local developer Koury Corp. is building a new shopping center to replace Lawndale North.

The Fresh Market, a private grocery company, has more than 60 stores in 14 states and employs nearly 7,000 people.

As part of the company's 25th birthday celebration, the Fresh Market is asking customers to submit recipes for a 25th Anniversary Cookbook planned to show up in the stores before the holidays. Shoppers can submit recipes online or at Fresh Market stores until April 30. The grocer will contact winners, including 25 people who will receive a prize package, by May 31.
