The Fresh Market believes it important to reiterate to employees and guests alike that our company maintains an unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace – and does not condone discrimination of any kind. We are steadfast in treating all guests and employees fairly and with the utmost respect. We are an advocate for inclusive communities free of discrimination, whether based on race, gender, national origin, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, creed, genetic information, pregnancy, uniformed service, or veteran status. Creating The Fresh Market experience requires lots of energy. By keeping a close track on how much energy we use, we can learn how to conserve more and consume less. By replacing traditional halogen lights with LED bulbs in our stores, we dramatically decrease the amount of electricity we consume. Each store averages an annual energy savings of 107,800 kWh from halogen bulbs and 28,600 kWh from LED bulbs. Thanks to the use of energy saving practice, we’re able to curb the amount of CO2 and other gasses, created by our stores. In fact, the reduction would be equivalent to removing more than 1,376 passengers cars from the road for a year.
