  • Customer service: Measures the friendliness, helpfulness and availability of employees in-store.
  • Atmosphere: Measures the general atmosphere, lighting/illumination, music and cleanliness of stores.
  • Accessibility: Measures parking availability, store hours and convenience of store location.
  • Shop layout: Measures the order in which products are displayed, aisle size, product presentation, mannequins and store size.

The award from Newsweek marks another major recognition for The Fresh Market. Recently, USA Today rated the premium grocery retailer one of America’s Best Customer Service Companies in 2025.
