Earth Fare, the authentic specialty organic and natural food grocery store, proudly announces that it will bring healthier food to Fort Mill, South Carolina shoppers this fall when it opens its newest location at 2351 Len Patterson Rd. The 24,000 square-foot store will be part of the Mills Crossing shopping center, currently being developed by Collett Realty. This will be the sixth South Carolina location for the chain that also operates stores in Columbia, Greenville, Rock Hill, Summerville, and Charleston.

“Fort Mill is a very special, vibrant community, full of shoppers who are looking for a place where they can find healthier, tastier, more wholesome food,” said Frank Scorpiniti, president and CEO of Earth Fare. “We are very proud to serve as a resource for healthier living to this community, and to make shopping for Clean, healthy foods more convenient for our Fort Mill customers.”

Earth Fare has established itself as a leader in the healthy food grocery industry for more than 40 years by continually developing innovative programs and campaigns that make it easier for shoppers to take back control of their health through their food choices. Since its founding in 1975, Earth Fare has maintained a unique Food Philosophy that informs every product offered in the store. This Food Philosophy is exemplified by a rigorous set of Quality Standards, which ensures that all products sold are free of high fructose corn syrup, artificial fats and trans-fats, artificial colors, artificial preservatives, artificial sweeteners, bleached or bromated flour, and are never administered antibiotics or growth hormones. These ingredients and additives are outlined on Earth Fare’s pioneering Boot List.  Furthering this commitment to helping shoppers live healthier, happier, longer lives, Earth Fare last year offered to share its Boot List with any grocer interested in making the same commitment to transparency to its shoppers.

In addition, Earth Fare’s 750+ private brand products are all sourced using only non-GMO ingredients, and new products are being added to the shelves each day. This year, Earth Fare launched The Clean Plate, a quarterly in-store magazine that provides shoppers with scientifically backed information about why what we eat matters.

“Americans everywhere deserve a place where they can shop confidently, knowing that every product in their cart is free from harmful additives that we know are not conducive to a healthy lifestyle,” said Scorpiniti. “We are very proud to bring our unparalleled commitment to helping our shoppers live longer, healthier, happier lives to the Fort Mill community.”

Beyond groceries, the new store will also feature Earth Fare’s Heirloom Juice Bar, which features fresh smoothies and juices, plus coffee drinks and convenient, freshly prepared bottles for the person on-the-go. Shoppers will also find a wide variety of Clean, natural choices in the ready-to-go and prepared foods department, including the salad bar, hot foods bar, pizza station, sandwich counter, and conveniently packaged meals-on-the-go. Shoppers can enjoy a homemade meal without the work, whether dining in the indoor and outdoor café with free Wi-Fi or taking it home.
