The Fresh Market opening in Mount Pleasant this month

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCBD) – An upscale grocery store is set to open its first store in the Charleston area this month.

The Fresh Market will open at Bowman Place in Mount Pleasant on Apr. 30, according to a social media post by the shopping mall.

Designed to resemble a European-style food market, the store offers custom-cut meats, high-quality ready-to-go meals, fresh flowers, baked goods, and more.

“We’re proud that USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards recognized The Fresh Market for three years in a row as the “Best Grocery Store in America”, and voted us #1 in three categories for 2024: “Best Grocery Store Bakery”, “Best Grocery Store Deli” and “Best Grocery Store Prepared Foods”, the store website states.

This will be the chain’s 10th South Carolina location, with storefronts in Spartanburg, Hilton Head, and Columbia.
