GREENSBORO, N.C., -- Fresh-focused specialty retailer The Fresh Market announced today that they are making it even more convenient to make everyday eating extraordinary by offering personal shopping and home delivery service through Instacart, a North American leader in online grocery.

"After successfully partnering with Instacart in several of our key markets, we found that our guests appreciated having a convenient option to order the specialty foods they love, delivered to their door when they want them," said Mary Kellmanson, Chief Marketing Officer at The Fresh Market. "As grills are firing up for the start of the summer season, our guests are looking to elevate their grill game with the amazing selection of prime beef we offer. Nothing says happy Father's Day better than having Instacart deliver one of our giant Tomahawk ribeye steaks with some of our fresh-prepared sides like our new blue cheese potato salad, along with corn on the cob. We're thrilled to be able to offer our guests a way to order our premium products direct from Instacart and get them delivered to their home in as fast as an hour."
