The Fresh Market Inc is a specialty grocery retailer founded in 1982 in Greensboro, North Carolina, by Ray and Beverly Berry. The company operates approximately 166 stores across 22 U.S. states, offering fresh produce, meat and seafood, in-store bakery items, prepared meals and curated specialty products.

The bakery, produce, deli and prepared foods departments have received individual recognition, and the company was named "Best Grocery Store in America" in USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards.
