The Fresh Market opened its first store of 2026 in South Miami on Jan. 28, marking the grocer’s eighth location in the Miami-Dade area and 172nd store overall.
The ribbon-cutting welcomed guests and local officials to a store featuring premium meats and seafood, fresh seasonal produce, local offerings and international products. The Fresh Market team contributed $2,000 to Feeding South Florida.
“We’re thrilled to begin another year of growth for The Fresh Market with the opening of our South Miami location,” said Brian Johnson, CEO of The Fresh Market.
“South Florida has been exceptionally welcoming to our brand, and we’re proud to bring South Miami residents our award‑winning shopping experience – complete with a thoughtfully curated assortment of local and global products, the highest quality fresh foods, along with the signature hospitality that defines The Fresh Market.”
The company will hold a second day of opening festivities Jan. 31, featuring giveaways, food sampling throughout the store and the cracking of an 80-pound wheel of Parmesan cheese.
Additional store opening announcements are expected soon.
