The Fresh Market Inc (TFM)

[Wildbilly]

You nailed my thoughts perfectly,

if you shop carefully and selectively you can actually do well, but you're right in that it's too expensive for me to do all of my shopping there. I love the almond butter machine, the concoctions in the meat and deli sections ie: wraps, homemade pizzas, skirt steak wheels, country ham as well as the confection/candy section although I can only very occasionally indulge these things anymore. Their fresh squeezed lemonade can't be beat on price and quality and until the last year or so the only place I could find quality dates and figs and I can go nearly orgasmic in the coffee section.

I'll often go out of my way just for a handful of items available nowhere else and for the reasons we've stated plus the fellow customer quality is hard to beat on a percentage basis if you know what I mean.

ps,

they are falling behind in the health/organic segment however which Kroger has very quickly reacted to and is yet devoting more and more space to.
