Fresh Market Produce — Local services in Hickory

Since it has been many years visiting this place (under another name and having a bad experience), I thought I would give it another try. I was sorely disappointed again. I arrived Friday morning at 9:30. There were two employees outside refilling produce. I did not receive any acknowledgment of my presence. Okay, I get it you are too busy restocking to say "Good morning", "Hello", "Need any help?". I picked out a watermelon and proceeded inside to pick more produce. Two employees inside talked amongst themselves about how "tired they were" and again no communication to other patrons or myself. I then went to check out an abundance of produce. Again, customer service was lacking and I had to ask what my total was. I paid, she bagged the produce. AGAIN, no "thank you" NOTHING. I then left wrangling 2 packed bags and 1 watermelon, trying to open the door without any help. I guess I will have to wait again for many years to revisit this place. Please bring back common decency and good...

Came here to get a Christmas tree. The only reason was because they had the best looking Christmas trees we had seen before riding around and looking at most of the other lots around the area. Thought that the best ones would be picked over because it's less than 2 weeks before Christmas. But boy were we surprised. We got the BEST looking Christmas tree we have EVER gotten in the past 17 years. It is full, no holes in it, shaped perfectly, and is just absolutely perfect in every single way. On top of that it was discounted to a price we couldn't say no to. Here's a picture of said perfect tree. We'll be back again next season to get our tree here again. Hopefully they look just as amazing as this...

It's always great supporting local small business owners. On saturday, they have it's flowering, a local flower company that makes bouquets and flower arrangements for special occasions. They are always beautiful and they last so long. The fresh market has a variety of flowers, plants, fruits, vegetables, and other locally made farm fresh food items. This staff here is always friendly and helpful. We love this place, and we will continue to support them. And we hope you do as well. Help to keep small...
