CHICAGO: Fresh Thyme Farmers Market will open three new Chicagoland stores Oct. 14, increasing its presence in the area to seven locations. The company is scheduled to open 60 stores by 2019.
“We love our fellow Chicagoland residents, and we’re excited to continue to share value-priced, fresh, healthy and organic offerings to more of our neighbors,” Chris Sherrell, Fresh Thyme chief executive officer, said in a press release. “We have recently opened our company’s central support hub in Downers Grove, and we are fully committed to supporting residents throughout the region in their goals to eat healthier and smarter.”
All of the stores are committed to investing in and partnering with their local communities. During the month of October, all Chicago area stores are selling limited-edition pink reusable shopping bags with 65 cents from each bag sale benefiting The Pink Agenda to support breast cancer research and television host Giuliana Rancic’s FAB-U-WISH initiative.
Ribbon-cutting ceremonies with members of the Fresh Thyme leadership team, local dignitaries and chambers of commerce will be held at each store at 6:45 a.m. preceding the official store openings at 7 a.m.
Each of the three store grand openings will have a grocery giveaway to the first 250 shoppers in line. Festivities will continue with free samples, vendor demos, live music, face paintings and other entertainment throughout the weekend.
