The first phase of the highly anticipated Frisco Fresh Market opens this weekend in the heart of Frisco. This is a one of a kind family-friendly destination with a mission to connect local producers, artisans and farmers to chefs, restaurateurs, food organizations and the people of North Texas.
Located at the intersection of Main Street and Frisco Street adjacent to the east side parking lot of Toyota Stadium, it’s easily accessible from all routes.
Inspired By European Markets
One of the largest permanent facilities of its kind in North Texas, Frisco Fresh Market is committed to bringing fresh produce and meats along with many other specialty goods from local vendors.
Inspired by the iconic European markets, where food, art, music, and people commingle in colorful open-air emporiums, Frisco Fresh Market brings sustainable, healthy food to North Texans from Texans.
Speaking exclusively with Cody Morton from the development team at USA Infrastructure Investments, he shared,
Our priority is to showcase and support small business, the freshest produce and specialty goods. We feel there is a shift in people’s expectations and the customer wants quality products on a consistent basis. We’ve traveled thousands of miles to meet fourth, fifth and sixth-generation farmers and ranchers who have become the best of the best at what they do. Each of them entrepreneurs in their own right, bringing some very cool concepts to the people of Frisco.
What can we expect from this uniquely inspired market in Frisco?
