Firebud Brands is proud to announce that our line of gourmet sauces are now available in all 8 metro Atlanta Whole Foods Markets and Harry’s Farmers Markets. Before jumping into the great barbecue unknown, we didn’t know about the WFM – Harry’s Farmers Market connection…so we did a little research. We are grinning ear to ear to be affiliated with such an amazing company! #getsaucy
Per the Whole Foods Market website:
Harry’s Farmers Market
Harry’s Farmers Market debuted in the Atlanta area in 1987 when founder Harry Blazer opened the first megastore in Alpharetta, Ga. It was a quick success, becoming profitable within the first year. Known for fresh, delicious foods, produce and gourmet products, the company expanded, opening two additional locations in Gwinnett and Cobb, each more than 100,000 square feet. The company went public in 1993 and launched a separate chain, Harry’s in a Hurry, a small specialty store that was not a part of the Whole Foods Market acquisition.
Whole Foods Market acquired the three Harry’s Farmers Market perishable megastores, a distribution center, a commissary kitchen, bakehouse and office facilities in October 2001. These stores join two Atlanta Whole Foods Market Stores in Briarcliff and Sandy Springs and continue to operate under the HFM banner. The addition of Harry’s Farmers Market to the Whole Foods Market family is a key component of Whole Food Market’s growing presence in the Southern United States.
