Fresh Market Opens in Glen Ellyn

CHICAGO—The shuttering of Dominick’s grocery stores across the metropolitan area perhaps illustrates that shoppers are increasingly looking for food options beyond those provided by traditional grocers. Instead, many hunt for stores like Mariano’s and the Fresh Market that provide more organic foods. And shoppers in west suburban Glen Ellyn now have that option. The Opus Group just completed construction on the Fresh Market Center, a new center at 285 Roosevelt Rd. anchored by a 23,790-square-foot Fresh Market grocery store.

“There’s a niche that they think they can fill,” Sean Spellman, vice president and general manager of Opus Development Company, LLC, told GlobeSt.com.
