CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - The Fresh Market is telling its customers that it doesn’t want them carrying guns into its stores.
The Greensboro-based chain has issued a statement saying it wants to “ensure a welcoming environment where our customers and employees feel safe, and treat one another with kindness and respect while shopping and working.”
The Charlotte Observer reports (https://bit.ly/21WS1B2) the activist group Moms Demand Action said it had gathered nearly 4,000 signatures across North Carolina to support what they call a “gun sense policy.”
Fresh Market has 20 stores in North Carolina.
Moms Demand Action has also asked Matthews-based Harris Teeter to implement gun bans in its stores, delivering petitions to Harris Teeter’s headquarters last year.
