Fun for Foodies
Friday, May 21, 2010 at 10:05AM I love brands that create great concepts and deliver on them in their stores to the smallest detail. One of these brands is Fresh Market. They started in 1982 with a new idea about grocery shopping. I am sure they have fine-tuned their concept over the years but the two stores that opened in my market are fantastic. It is the only time I have ever really been happy shopping for food. A friend in the design industry said the stores are too dramatic for her. But, nothing can be too dramatic for me. They provide a really pleasant (without trying too hard) experience. Adding to my admiration is the fact they carry the original Patsy’s sauce from Patsy’s in New York rumored to be Frank Sinatra’s favorite Italian restaurant. Of course it is $8 a jar but well worth it. My only disappointment is the web-site. It looks nothing like the store. If anybody from Fresh Market reads this – please call me.

Congrats on your new site Peggy! It looks great and I enjoyed reading your blog. The combo of entertainment and marketing couldn't be more timely -- can you say "reality tv?". Good luck with the new venture.
