Abstract:

Fresh Market, a family-owned business, opened its first store in Greensboro in the early 1980s. The format of the store is based on a European market and has proven appealing to customers. Whole Foods is its nearest competitor. Fresh Market now has 130 stores in 25 states and 10,000 employees. Net sales topped $1.3 billion last year. Although sales have slipped slightly, the company still plans to open 16 to 22 stores this year, with 4 in Houston in its first foray into Texas.

Abstract:

Author Bruce Ingram discusses his locavore lifestyle, an emerging trend. The locavore lifestyle involves growing chemical-free food, hunting, fishing, raising livestock, and using natural energy like firewood and solar power instead of electricity. He urges North Carolinians to consider the lifestyle, or at least utilize local farmer's markets for fresh produce.
