GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Fresh Market, a specialty grocer known for its curated selection of fresh products and inviting atmosphere, announces the temporary closure of its Hendersonville location following flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. The store sustained extensive damage due to floodwater, necessitating a rebuild over the next 12 months.
"We are deeply committed to this community and plan to rebuild our store," said Jason Potter, CEO of The Fresh Market. "We value our customers and employees in Hendersonville and look forward to welcoming everyone back to an enhanced shopping experience."
During the reconstruction period, The Fresh Market is ensuring job security for its Hendersonville employees by offering positions at nearby locations, maintaining a commitment to its team members and their well-being.
