The Fresh Market is looking to add 1,500 team members for the holiday season across the company. Candidates are encouraged to apply online at The Fresh Market’s website before attending the hiring event so specific interview times can be scheduled, but walk-ins will be accepted as well.

The specialty grocer promotes a diverse and inclusive work environment with team members who love food and aim to provide an exceptional guest experience. Seasonal and part-time team members also receive a 20 percent employee discount.

All stores will be following proper safety protocols related to COVID-19 during the interviews including social distancing and wearing a face covering.
