I was very anxious to see how this Fresh Market was going to occupy the HUGE Lowes food store space in the Promenade, Well It did and quite nicely I might add. Fresh Market is a gourmet and pricey upscale market. I am a Foodie and I shop at all the different venues in Charlotte from tiny food marts to Costco to Harris Teeter and Trader Joes. I have gone many times to the two other Fresh Markets in Charlotte. They are small but there are items that I need for my cooking and I can only find them here. This is a massive prototype Fresh Market. They have almost ever brand of upscale spices, sauces and cooking ingredients that you need for any dish. Meat is beautiful and very expensive. Fish also. The special sale items are what I would purchase there. I was very disappointed in the Cheese Counter..I love all kinds of cheese expecially LOCAL producers from here in NC and SC. NO LOCAL Cheeses..I was shocked the other two big stores ( which I was told not to mention in the store , Whole Foods and Earthfare ) have nicely stocked Cheese counters which include all of our lovely local products such as Boskey Acres, Goat Lady, Chapel Hill Creamery but here nothing except standard cheese you can get anywhere. Work on that FRESH MARKET! Also a big lack of Vegetarian choices ==no meatless Tempeh or deli meats for the Veggie Head person. The Bakery was delicious! Lots more treats than at the other two little Fresh Markets. The wine shop was very good, I am glad it is right around the corner from my house. I like variety and this store has it!
