Investopedia: The Fresh Market Is A Breath Of Fresh Growth

It's almost traditional (if not quite cliché) to take Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) to task for ruining that pastoral ideal that was the American Main Street shopping experience. More recently, neo-hippies have done battle over whether Whole Foods (Nasdaq:WFM) has "gone corporate" by forcing many smaller organic specialty stores out of business, and catering every bit as much to the Audi and soccer mom set as the patchouli and hemp-shirt set.

With that backdrop, it may seem daft to try to enter the market with yet another food market concept. Even with a market already full of choices, companies like Aldi, Trader Joe's and The Fresh Market (Nasdaq:TFM) are showing that customers still aren't completely satisfied with the retail landscape. While The Fresh Market is going to have to prove that it can manage its growth (and make it a profitable growth), this is one of the most interesting retail growth stories going on today.
