Crescent JOINT Night Club: CEO Brian Johnson: The Fresh Market
Advertisement
Brian Johnson is President and Chief Executive Officer of The Fresh Market, a fresh food retailer and destination.
Known for helping guests make every day eating extraordinary through fresh, high-quality food, convenient meal solutions, and exceptional hospitality.
The Fresh Market was founded by Ray and Beverly Berry, who were inspired by the open-air, artisanal food markets they encountered while traveling in Europe. Seeking an alternative to the sterile warehouse supermarkets dominating the early 1980s, the Berry’s poured their life savings into opening their first boutique grocery store on March 5, 1982, on Lawndale Drive in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The Grocer has opened four new stores in 2026, and it was selected as one of the nation's most trusted companies by Newsweek.
