The Fresh Market names Larry Appel as its new CEO
There are also big changes afoot at The Fresh Market, which has named Skeeter Snacks CEO Larry Appel its new CEO, a position that had been occupied since June by CFO Brian Nicholson following the departure of Rick Anicetti.
The Fresh Market, which was acquired by Apollo Global Management last year and operates 176 stores in 24 states, has struggled to compete with other specialist natural grocers, but lacks the scale to compete with more mainstream players.
