Fresh Thyme Farmers Market, a new specialty grocer featuring healthy and organic value-priced offerings, will open its second store Wednesday, June 25, in Deerfield, Ill. The opening follows the company’s debut last month when it opened in Mount Prospect, Ill.
The Deerfield Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Harriet Rosenthal will be on site next month in Deerfield for the ribbon cutting at 9 a.m. (CT). The new store is located at 35 Waukegan Rd.
“We look forward to opening Illinois’ second Fresh Thyme store in Deerfield,” CEO Chris Sherrell said. “The grand opening event will be an exciting day to shop, try our different products and participate in activities throughout the day.”
The first 250 shoppers on June 25 will receive a limited-edition custom Deerfield Fresh Thyme reusable bag filled with more than $50 of healthy groceries. The grand opening will feature events for the entire family, including food sampling, live entertainment and giveaways, according to the company. Additional events are scheduled to continue throughout the week.
“Fresh Thyme’s goal is to provide our local communities with fresh, natural products at a great value,” Sherrell said. “We also strive to build solid relationships within each community we call home and look forward to the opportunity to do so in Deerfield.”
Fresh Thyme has already hired many local community residents for managerial and hourly positions. There are still numerous full- and part-time employment opportunities available at the Deerfield Fresh Thyme store, the company says.
Fresh Thyme plans to open a total of 60 stores by 2019 in the Midwest.
