Fresh Approach (website, facebook, instagram) has announced that they’re closing. Owners Peggy and Chet Knight plan to remain open while selling the remainder of the stock at their Brackett Street market.
It is with deep regret and broken hearts [w]e must announce that after 34 years in business on Bracket Street we will be closing Fresh Approach.
As many of you are aware our ability to take food stamps at our store was taken away from us about 1 year ago. Unfortunately an employee sold dish soap and tissues to an undercover USDA agent. Although we know this was wrong and it never should have happened our license was suspended for 6 months and we received a hefty fine. It took us 11 months to get our license back – which was a very big part of our business. We established a good wholesale business to local restaurants and caterers but because of so many restaurants closing our sales have gone down. With the current economy and cost of doing business is more than we can overcome we will be liquidating our inventory effective immediately. We will remain open until everything is sold.
With that being said we want to sincerely thank all of you for supporting us for the last 34 years. We have made so many friends and have watched children grow up to adults. Each and every one of you are special to us and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts
Thank you also to our employees for hanging in there with us – You are the best!
