The Fresh Market store at 1001 E. Southlake Boulevard will close its doors in light of an announcement earlier this week. It joins a group of seven other stores in the state that will shut down, which include two in Dallas and one in Fort Worth. The Southlake location opened in January 2015, making its time in the city short lived.
The closure is a part of a decision to pull out of four states nationwide, including Iowa, Missouri and Kansas, totaling 13 stores. The closures will occur on May 18. The chain pulled out of California earlier in the year.
CEO Rick Anicetti released a statement, saying it was “a difficult but necessary step with the end goal of producing a strong, more agile company.” The decision came just days after Apollo Management Group acquired the company.
Employees will be offered separation packages or the chance to work at other stores, The Fresh Market said.
