A new grocery store concept that combines convenience, dining and recreation (complete with a putting green) is coming to Augusta, Ga.
FreshTake is set to open its doors in summer 2024 in the former 42,000-sq.-ft. Whole Foods Market location at Washington Crossing in Augusta. The initiative is spearheaded by fourth-generation grocer Jackson Mitchell, CEO of Jackson Mitchell Holdings, which operates five Little Giant Farmers Market locations in the Atlanta area.
FreshTake is designed to offer a seamless integration of shopping and leisure activities. The store will feature seating for 130, two outdoor balconies and a spacious mezzanine seating area (with complimentary WIFI) above the in-store cafe, providing professionals with a spot to work or meet over coffee.
