The Fresh Market’s newly opened Lakewood Ranch, Florida, location showcases how far the specialty grocer has come as a foodservice destination.
The 24,034-square-foot store at 11525 State Rd. 70 East, which debuted in April, follows a concept the specialty grocer first introduced in 2021 that takes “an expanded kitchen focus on what’s for dinner,” a spokesperson for the grocer wrote in an email. The concept’s footprint currently consists of five stores, with locations in Greensboro, Palm Beach Gardens, Port St. Lucie and now Lakewood Ranch, Florida, as well as a store in Carmel, Indiana.
