Non-Corporate Grocer Coming to Oakley

The Fresh Market, a family-run chain of small grocery stores that bear resemblance to historic markets for their concentration on fresh produce, meat and fish, is entering the crowded Cincinnati retail market with stores in Oakley and Sycamore Township. Fresh Market, based in Greensboro, N.C., is heavy on behind-counter service -- no meats or fish are prepackaged. The chain of 50 stores also is known as much for what it doesn't carry as for what it does. There will be no baby food, soap products, pet goods or paper products. [Cincinnati Business Courier]
