Winner: Fresh Market

Savory is the word for the Fresh Market grocery shopping experience.

From the dazzling array of produce and fresh meats and seafood to the already prepared foods and gourmet delicacies, Fresh Market has made an impression on its customers.

And that is the goal, along with superior customer service, says John Cartwright, manager of the East Memphis location.

“We shower our customers with service,” says Cartwright. “We do the grocery store experience like it used to be.”
