Ten days after opening to the public, FreshTake Grocery in Augusta, Georgia, will hold its grand opening celebration Jan. 30.
Located at 2907 Washington Road, FreshTake’s shopping experience includes amenities such as a sushi bar, pizza and pasta counter, barbecue smokehouse, hot food stations and a full-service Starbucks.
Customers can visit Jackson’s Beer and Wine Bar, which features 13 large TVs and a curated selection of beverages, or the Ice Box beer cave for a variety of chilled beers to-go.
In addition to its amenities, FreshTake is a traditional grocery store, offering a wide selection of name-brand items, specialty and organic products, gluten-free options and private-label brands such as Food Club and Crav’n.
The grand opening festivities will begin at 10 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce. The first 100 customers will receive a $25 FreshTake gift card, and the first 200 customers will take home reusable grocery bags filled with free items.
There will be live music by The Mason Jars from noon-4 p.m., sample offerings throughout the store and live radio remote broadcasts. FreshTake also will present a $1,000 donation to Golden Harvest Food Bank.
The store’s pharmacy is also running a special promotion: customers who transfer their prescriptions to FreshTake Pharmacy will receive a $25 gift card.

FreshTake Grocery is the vision of Jackson Mitchell, a fourth-generation grocer and entrepreneur. Mitchell also operates five Little Giant Farmers Market locations in metro Atlanta and was named Clayton County Business of the Year.
Even during construction delays in Augusta, Mitchell continued to pay employees for months, ensuring they were prepared to deliver an exceptional experience upon opening.
“This store was built with our customers in mind – combining a wide range of offerings, outstanding customer service and innovative features to create something truly special,” Mitchell said. “From weekly ad deals to fresh-cut meats and chef-inspired meals, FreshTake offers everything shoppers need … we are so grateful for the warm welcome we’ve received and look forward to growing with Augusta.”
