Best credit card to use at The Fresh Market.

Groceries

The Fresh Market is an upscale specialty grocer with around 160 stores, primarily in the Southeast and along the Eastern Seaboard. The format leans into prepared meals, butcher and seafood counters, and a curated wine and cheese selection. The Fresh Market codes as a U.S. supermarket, so grocery category cards (Amex Gold, Blue Cash Preferred, Citi Custom Cash) earn their normal multiplier here. Given the higher average ticket compared to mainstream chains, a 4x or 6x grocery card can produce outsized rewards on a typical trip.
