WICHITA — Fresh Market president and CEO Craig Carlock has been coming to Wichita for years, but not to scout locations for the North Carolina-based grocery store, which opens at Bradley Fair June 20.
He's been coming for family reunions.
His mother, Myrna, and his late father, Ron, were graduates of East High School.
Carlock's grandmother, Margaret Iddings, still lives here.
So is Iddings responsible for the chain's arrival in Wichita? Has she been pestering her grandson about finally bringing one?
"No, no, no, no," Carlock says. "We're coming for professional reasons."
He says, though, "There's an element of personal excitement here."
