The Fresh Market closing 15 stores, including one in Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Fresh Market plans to shutter 15 underperforming stores across nine states.

That includes its location in north Charlotte at 3024 Prosperity Church Road.

The Greensboro-based specialty grocer opened that store in November 2014.

No timetable was provided for when the local store will close. The Fresh Market says it will relocate as many impacted employees as possible to other stores across its footprint.

The company has been executing a turnaround plan over the last eight months, says Larry Appel, chief executive.
