Fresh Market Coming to Towson
Fresh Market is coming to Towson, in place of the SuperFresh on Dulaney Valley Road.
I love Fresh Market! I go to the Quarry often for fresh fruit, breads and prepared foods. Everything is laid out beautifully, the employees are helpful and the food is great. I am so excited to soon have a Fresh Market closer to home!
During tough economic times, it is great to see large stores and companies investing in the Baltimore region. Thank you Fresh Market!
The store is conveniently located to all of the Towson neighborhoods, Hunt Valley, Northern Baltimore City and more.
If you haven’t tried Fresh Market yet…you should definitely stop by…especially once the new location opens in Towson!
