Fresh Market to Shutter Framingham Store Less Than a Year After Opening

A WARN filing lists about 50 layoffs at the Route 9 market, reflecting a footprint realignment the company says is underway.

Overview

  • The Framingham location at 84 Worcester Road is holding a 25% off clearance, and the final day will be set once inventory sells through.
  • State WARN records indicate roughly 50 employees will be separated by December 14.
  • The company says it routinely reviews its store portfolio and expects to open four new locations by early 2026.
  • The chain operates about 172 stores in 22 states, with other Massachusetts sites in Hingham and Mansfield.
  • A separate Fresh Market in Naperville, Illinois, is also closing, a move cited in coverage that places the exits within broader retail footprint pullbacks.
