First look at Augusta’s new grocery store ahead of opening day
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – We got an inside look at Augusta’s newest grocery store, FreshTake.
It’s located next to the Outback Steakhouse on Washington Road, where Whole Foods used to be.
FreshTake touts itself as an elevated shopping experience with a focus on fresh, ready-to-eat meals.
There is a butcher shop, seafood counter, specialty food stations like sushi, pizza, pasta, juices and smoothies and a Starbucks coffee shop located inside the store.
There’s also a beer and wine bar inside the grocery store and a BBQ smoker outside.
“I always wanted to have a store that had an abundance of food service offerings on one side just like you see here. I’m super happy and excited I was able to bring this to the Augusta community to enjoy,” said Jackson Mitchell, CEO of FreshTake.
FreshTake opens its doors to the public on Monday at 10 a.m. for its soft opening with a grand opening set for January 30.
The store tells us it is also committed to ensuring no food goes to waste and is partnering with Golden Harvest Food Bank.
