Win A $25 The Fresh Market Gift Card
This contest started 2/2027. This contest has a winner.
* Win A $25 The Fresh Market Gift Card.
Real simple story, Jeff Eats got a $25 The Fresh Market Gift Card to give to one of you guys. As you guys can see from Jeff Eats’ 7/24/11- The Fresh Market “story” printed down below, I’m not exactly a fan of The Fresh Market chain! Look, Jeff Eats knows that food/restaurant “reviewing” is purely a subjective thing- and what I like, you on the other hand may hate and vice versa- so just maybe this $25 Gift Card works for you!
The game- the first 25 “reader-comments” received – will be entered in a “blind hat pick”! You can submit as many comments as you’d like but- Please, only 1- reader comment – per day…play fair!
The $25 Gift Card is good at any The Fresh Market location (thefreshmarket.com for locations, info).

The Fresh Market, 20409 State Road 7, Boca Raton, Florida 33498, (561) 479-4845.
The Fresh Market…think Whole Foods Market (www.wholefoodsmarket.com—overpriced national “specialty” supermarket) and you got the whole (pun intended) concept in a nutshell. The Fresh Market is a publiclly traded company and as of June 2, 2011 had 101 stores in 20-states. You can check www.thefreshmarket.com for store locations/and other stuff.
Last week I stopped in the newest- The Fresh Market which had “just” opened on State Road 7 in Boca Raton. The space was previously occupied by an Albertson’s store. Like I said before, squint your eyes/and you’ll think that your in a Whole Foods. For those of you who don’t know what a Whole Foods is—specialty grocery retailer. Anyway…I absolutely love fresh orange, grapefruit, tangerine juice. To make a long story short, went to the the juice “area” and found fresh orange and fresh grapefruit. There were 2-brands Kennesaw and a Signature Collection. There was also a sign that in essence said that that Signature Collection was made by Kennesaw especially for The Fresh Market. Being a “good” shopper, I checked the “SELL BY DATE” on the product and low-and-behold I found a number of both the orange-grapefruit (Kennesaw-Signature Collection) quarts to have dates that had already-come-and gone. NOT GOOD!
Imagine—A specialty food market selling “expired” products?…or for that matter, any supermarket selling dated-expired stuff.
Sorry, I can’t comment on the fruits, vegetables, baked goods, prepared foods, candies…didn’t try them. I came for juice and found a store that couldn’t even handle the simpliest of tasks-having fresh products.
would love to win!
Another place I’d like to explore!
Great stop
good one i need this
right around the corner!
Would like to win this. Check their weekly specials too … along with the dates.
My fave!
Thanks for the opportunity.
Best turkey burgers anywhere!
Hoping to win, Jeff Eats! Thanks for the opportunity.
Yes
We love their turkey burgers!!! Gobble gobble 🙂
The fresh juice is great!
Sounds good
I think that a number of their baked goods come in frozen and then thawed out and placed on counters for sale.
I’ve also seen juices on shelves with expired dates.
OK I’m in
Thanks for the contest. Whenever i see things with expired dates I always let them know – and believe me I have to put on my specs to see the date alot of the times but I always check – so many places don’t rotate properly.
Great store
This would help the grocery bill!
This is one nice store …
I hope they have fresh pecans.
I will be number 20

Great!
