News Release
What:
Earth Fare is opening its first Fort Wayne, IN location to the public on Wednesday, May 7. Preceding the opening, there will be behind-the-scenes special tours for the media on Tuesday, May 6 with additional media appointments and interviews the day of opening Wednesday, May 7 and May 8.
Who:
Nate Sutton, a local eighth grader, whose letter provided inspiration for Earth Fare to come to Fort Wayne, will speak at the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, Wednesday, May 7th at 7:45 am. In seventh grade, Nate’s class was given an assignment to write a letter to a company. Based on the dietary needs of his younger sister and his family’s visit to Earth Fare in Noblesville, Nate decided to write to Earth Fare. He researched the market and found compelling reasons for Earth Fare to come to town and specifically to locate on the north side, where there is a greater concentration of housing.
