Greensboro, N.C. — The Fresh Market Inc. announced this week that it will close 15 stores nationwide.
The impacted stores were selected after an analysis of overall growth and long-term financial performance, according to the Greensboro-based grocer.
“Over the last eight months, our company has been executing a turnaround plan and we’ve seen great progress,” said Larry Appel, CEO of The Fresh Market. “However, for a variety of reasons unique to each retail location, that progress is not evenly distributed and, as a result, we have decided to close these long-term, underperforming stores.”
