Upscale grocery chain The Fresh Market confirmed Monday it will open a new store at the new shopping center Pier Park North in the fall.
Construction already has begun on the 20,000-square-foot store, which will be located behind Rooms To Go. The Panama City Beach store will be the company’s 42nd in Florida.
Founded in 1982 in Greensboro, N.C., The Fresh Market now operates 168 stores in 27 states, specializing in high-quality, gourmet grocery items, and a high level of customer service. The closest store to the Bay County area is currently located at Destin Commons in Okaloosa County.
Pier Park North, which held its grand opening last August, is located on U.S. 98 across from Pier Park and is a partnership between the St. Joe Co., property management company CASTO and Strategic Real Estate Advisors (SRA).
