Fresh Market’s Carlock Steps Down as CEO

Sean Crane, evp and chief operating officer was named The Fresh Market’s interim CEO, effective immediately. The decision, made by Fresh Market officials, follows on the heels of Craig Carlock’s, president, CEO and board member, departure from the company.  

“Under Craig’s leadership, the company successfully transitioned from a private to a public company and experienced five consecutive years of increased sales and earnings,” said Ray Berry, founder and chairman of the board of directors, in a statement. “The board is focused on identifying the right candidate to lead The Fresh Market through its next phase of growth, while providing opportunities for our employees and delivering greater value to our stockholders.”
