Fresh Market opened in North Druid Hills’ Brighten Park shopping center this summer.

Our neighborhood is already home to a host of great grocery stores and supermarkets, from Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s to Publix and Kroger. But this fall, two new exciting stores are upping the grocery game here in town. In fact, this summer, specialty grocer Fresh Market opened its thirteenth Georgia location in North Druid Hills’ Brighten Park shopping center. The 23,000-square-foot store houses a bakery churning out 30 freshly baked breads and 14 pie varieties daily, plus a full service meat counter with freshly ground beef, a wide array of ready-to-serve entrées, fresh seafood delivered multiple times a week and more than 200 imported and domestic cheeses. You’ll find 400-plus items in the produce department, which is largely organic, as well as a slew of “bars”: juice/smoothie, hot pizza, gelato and coffee.

And Sprouts Farmers Market will join the organic grocery scene with their grand opening in Sandy Springs this month, making it their eighth location in Georgia, but their first in Atlanta city limits. Expect plenty of fresh, natural and organic foods at great prices at the new 26,000-square-foot outpost. A bunch of new grocers are still on the horizon—keep an eye out for a forthcoming Kroger in Buckhead’s Piedmont/Lindbergh neighborhood in the fall of 2016, and a new Whole Foods Market in Brookhaven/Chamblee. The 40,000-square-foot store is expected to open in early 2017.
