	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

	Basis of Presentation

	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of The Fresh Market, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 27, 2013. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or future interim periods.
	Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. None of the reclassifications or changes in presentation are considered material.
	The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries are consolidated and all intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
	The Company reports its results of operations on a 52 or 53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in January. Fiscal years 2013 and 2012 are 52 week fiscal years and each fiscal quarter consists of 13 weeks.
	The Company has determined that it has only one reportable segment. All of the Company’s revenues come from the sale of items at its specialty food stores. The Company’s primary focus is on perishable food categories, which include meat, seafood, produce, deli, bakery, floral, sushi and prepared foods. Non-perishable categories consist of traditional grocery and dairy products as well as specialty foods, including bulk, coffee, candy, beer and wine. The following is a summary of the percentage for the sales of perishable and non-perishable items:

	2. Long-Term Debt (continued)

	The Company is party to a revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, and Letter of Credit Issuer, and several other lending institutions (as amended, the “2011 Credit Facility”). The 2011 Credit Facility matures February 22, 2016, and is available to provide support for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions, issuance of letters of credit, refinancing and payment of fees. While the Company currently has no material domestic subsidiaries, other entities will guarantee the Company’s obligations under the 2011 Credit Facility if and when they become material domestic subsidiaries of the Company during the term of the 2011 Credit Facility.
	The 2011 Credit Facility provides for total borrowings of up to $175,000. Under the terms of the 2011 Credit Facility, the Company is entitled to request an increase in the size of the facility by an amount not exceeding $75,000 in the aggregate. If the existing lenders elect not to provide the full amount of a requested increase, or in lieu of accepting offers from existing lenders to increase their commitments, the Company may designate one or more other lenders to become a party to the 2011 Credit Facility, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent. The 2011 Credit Facility includes a letter of credit sublimit of $25,000, of which $13,667 and $12,926 was outstanding at October 27, 2013 and January 27, 2013, respectively. The beneficiaries of these letters of credit are predominantly the Company’s workers’ compensation and general liability insurance carriers. The 2011 Credit Facility also includes a swing line sublimit of $10,000.
	At the Company’s option, outstanding borrowings bear interest at (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.00% to 2.25%, (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.00% to 2.25%, or (iii) the base rate plus an applicable margin that ranges from 0% to 1.25%, where the base rate is defined as the greatest of: (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America’s prime rate, and (c) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%. As of October 27, 2013 and January 27, 2013, all outstanding borrowings bore interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin.
	The commitment fee calculated on the unused portions of the 2011 Credit Facility ranges from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum.
	The 2011 Credit Facility contains a number of affirmative and restrictive covenants, including limitations on the Company's ability to grant liens, incur additional debt, pay dividends, redeem its common stock, make certain investments and engage in certain merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions.

	Fair Value Measurements
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturity. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates fair value because the advances under this instrument bear variable interest rates which reflect market changes to interest rates and contain variable risk premiums based on certain financial ratios achieved by the Company. The Company did not elect to report any of its nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities at fair value.

	Leases
	The Company has leases which are accounted for as capital leases. The related assets are included in the “Buildings” line item as part of Property and Equipment on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are depreciated over the term of the related leases. Capital lease assets and liabilities are recorded at the lesser of the net present value of minimum lease payments or at the fair market value based on comparable market data. The Company does not recognize rent expense for capital leases. Rather, rental payments under the leases are recognized as a reduction of the capital lease obligations and as interest expense.
	In certain instances, the Company has leases in which it is considered the owner of the building for accounting purposes, in which case the value of the leased building is recorded in the "Construction in progress" line item (if the related store has not opened) or the "Buildings" line item (if the related store has opened) and a corresponding financing obligation is recorded in the “Capital leases and financing obligations" line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. After possession of the related property is obtained and the store is opened, the financing obligation is amortized over the lease term using the effective interest method and the building is depreciated over the lease term.

	Long-Term Cash Incentive Program

	In March 2012, the Company adopted The Fresh Market, Inc. Long-Term Cash Incentive Program for Select Employees (the “Program”), in which the Company’s executive officers do not participate. The purpose of the Program is to provide incentives and reward employees for achieving specified performance goals over a performance period.
	Under the Program, the Company grants awards, which entitle participants to receive cash bonuses based upon the Company’s achievement of specified performance goals encompassing a three-year fiscal performance period. The Company granted awards under the Program to its participants during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012. At the end of each reporting period, the Company evaluates the potential amount of the awards payable based on the estimated level of its performance. These awards are expensed over the respective performance period on a straight-line basis. Cumulative adjustments, if any, are recorded quarterly to reflect subsequent changes in estimated performance.
	Each participant receives a percentage of the applicable target amount for the performance period based on achievement of the performance goals and formulas. The Program’s award payouts will vary based on the level of achievement of the performance goals and can range from 33% to 150% of the pre-established target award. Each participant is entitled to a minimum of one-third of the target amount, which will be paid in three annual payments over the three-year vesting period. At the end of the three-year period, each participant is eligible for a final payout based upon the Company’s specific measurement criteria. There will be no additional payout unless the threshold for the applicable performance goal is reached, and the participant must be employed by the Company at the end of the performance period to be eligible for payment of an award.
	Based on the expected level of achievement of the performance goals as of the respective balance sheet dates, the Company recorded a $225 reduction to previously recognized expense related to the Program for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2013 and expense of $124 for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2012. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012, the Company recognized expense of $298 and $388, respectively.

	Share-based Compensation

	The Company grants share-based awards under The Fresh Market, Inc. 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. As of October 27, 2013, approximately 2,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for share-based awards.



	6. Share-based Compensation (continued)
	Stock Options - 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
	For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013, the Company granted non-qualifying stock options representing approximately 141,000 shares of common stock to employees. Options are granted at an option price equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date and vest in 25% annual increments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. Options expire ten years from the grant date. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options at the grant date.
	As of October 27, 2013 and January 27, 2013, there were approximately 790,000 and 760,000 nonvested stock options outstanding, respectively, and approximately $5,600 and $5,900 of unrecognized share-based compensation expense, respectively. The Company anticipates this expense to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining service period of approximately 2.4 years.
	Share-based compensation expense related to stock options recognized during the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012 totaled $738 and $718, respectively. Share-based compensation expense related to stock options recognized during the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012 totaled $2,182 and $2,117, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is recorded in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

	Restricted Stock Units - 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan

	For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013, the Company awarded restricted stock units ("RSUs") representing approximately 26,000 shares of common stock to its employees. The RSUs vest in 25% annual increments on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date and the fair value is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
	As of October 27, 2013 and January 27, 2013, total remaining unearned compensation cost related to nonvested RSUs was approximately $2,000 and $1,600, respectively, which will be recognized over the weighted-average remaining service period of approximately 2.5 years.
	The Company recognized $272 and $186 of share-based compensation expense related to the RSUs for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012, respectively. Share-based compensation expense related to the RSUs for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012 totaled $853 and $572, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is recorded in the “Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

	Restricted Stock Awards - 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
	For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013, the Company granted approximately 9,000 restricted stock awards ("RSAs") to its non-employee directors. RSAs vest at the earlier of one year from the date of grant or the next annual meeting of the stockholders. The fair value of the RSAs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
	As of October 27, 2013 and January 27, 2013, total remaining unearned compensation cost related to nonvested RSAs was approximately $251 and $150, respectively, which will be recognized over the weighted-average remaining service period of approximately 0.6 years.
	The Company recognized $105 and $104 of share-based compensation expense related to RSAs for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012, respectively. The Company recognized $316 and $278 of share-based compensation expense related to RSAs for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is recorded in the "Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.





	6. Share-based Compensation (continued)
	Executive Restricted Stock Awards - 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
	For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013, the Company granted approximately 92,000 RSAs to its executive officers. The grant was comprised of two types of RSAs under the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan: RSAs that are subject to three-year cliff-based vesting, and RSAs that vest in annual 25% increments over a four-year period beginning on the grant date. Upon vesting, the risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transferability lapse. The Company recognizes the related compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the required service period. The fair value of the executive RSAs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
	As of October 27, 2013, total remaining unearned compensation cost related to nonvested executive RSAs was approximately $3,000, which will be recognized over the weighted-average remaining service period of approximately 2.5 years.
	The Company recorded share-based compensation expense related to the executive RSAs of approximately $293 and $680 for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013, respectively, which is recorded in the "Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
	Performance Share Awards - 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
	The Performance Share Award Agreement, approved by the Board of Directors in March 2012, provides for the issuance of performance shares ("Performance Shares") under the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan to executive officers and certain other members of the Company's management team based upon an established performance goal. The Performance Shares are subject to performance conditions and time-based cliff vesting on the last day of the performance period defined below. Upon vesting, the risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transferability lapse. The fair value of the Performance Shares is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
	The performance goal is a specified cumulative three-year earnings per share amount for the fiscal 2012 through 2014 performance period. The actual number of Performance Shares which vest for each participant is set at a minimum threshold of 0% of the participant's target number of Performance Shares and could increase to up to 150% of the target based upon performance results. Actual performance against the performance goal will be measured at the end of the performance period and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Committee"). Expense is recorded over the required performance period, subject to management's assessment of the expected performance outcome.
	The Company did not grant any Performance Shares for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013. Based on the expected level of achievement of the performance goal as of the respective balance sheet dates, the Company recognized a reduction to share-based compensation expense of approximately $85 for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2013 and expense of approximately $111 for the thirteen weeks ended October 28, 2012 related to the Performance Shares. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense related to Performance Shares of approximately $49 and $251 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is recorded in the "Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
	Performance Share Units - 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
	In March 2013, the Committee adopted a Performance Share Unit Award Agreement under the 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013, the Company awarded approximately 30,000 performance share units ("PSUs") to its executive officers and certain other members of the Company's management team based upon an established performance goal. The PSUs are subject to performance conditions and time-based cliff vesting on the last day of the performance period, as defined below, and settle in shares of the Company's common stock upon vesting. The fair value of the PSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
	The performance goal is a specified cumulative three-year earnings per share amount for the fiscal 2013 through 2015 performance period. The actual number of PSUs which vest for each participant is set at a minimum threshold of 0% of the participant's target number of PSUs and could increase to up to 150% of the target based upon performance results. Actual performance against the performance goal will be measured at the end of the performance period and approved by the Committee. Expense is recorded over the required performance period, subject to management's assessment of the expected performance outcome.


	6. Share-based Compensation (continued)
	Based on the expected level of achievement of the performance goal as of the respective balance sheet date, the Company recognized a reduction to share-based compensation expense related to PSUs of approximately $10 for the thirteen weeks ended October 27, 2013 and share-based compensation expense related to PSUs of approximately $144 for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013. Those amounts are recorded in the "Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
	Deferred Stock Units - 2010 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan
	In June 2013, the Company granted approximately 1,600 deferred stock units ("DSUs"), which are elections made by certain non-employee directors that enable them to receive all of their retainer payments in the form of the Company's common stock. DSUs vest when issued and are converted to common stock upon separation from service. The fair value of the DSUs is equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.
	As of October 27, 2013, total remaining unearned compensation cost related to DSUs was $48, which will be recognized over the weighted-average remaining service period of approximately 0.6 years.
	The Company recognized $20 and $32 of share-based compensation expense related to DSUs for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013, respectively, which is recorded in the "Selling, general and administrative expenses" line item on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
	Employee Stock Purchase Plan
	In November 2010, The Fresh Market, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was adopted and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders. Since July 1, 2011, eligible employees have had the option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a 5% discount from the market price through a payroll deduction. As of October 27, 2013, approximately 991,000 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the ESPP.
	During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012, 3,977 and 2,684 shares of the Company's common stock, respectively, were purchased under the ESPP, which resulted in proceeds of $176 and $136, respectively.

	Earnings per Share

	The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the number of weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents consisting of incremental common shares deemed outstanding from the assumed exercise of stock options, RSUs, RSAs, executive RSAs and DSUs. The Company excluded the dilutive effect of its Performance Share awards and PSUs since the related performance conditions had not been satisfied for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012.

For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 27, 2013 and October 28, 2012, there were approximately 282,000 and 243,000 shares, respectively, that were antidilutive.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Commitments and Contingencies	'
	Commitments and Contingencies

	Litigation

	From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of business, including labor and employment, premises, personal injury, product liability and general liability claims, and claims related to commercial and leasing matters. In the opinion of management, the resolution of currently pending matters, other than those described or referred to in the following paragraphs, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of these actions and, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, the Company's business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
	The Company reviews the status of its legal proceedings and records a provision for a liability when it is considered probable that both a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This review is updated periodically as additional information becomes available. If either or both of the criteria are not met, the Company reassesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may be incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the amount of the loss or range of losses, that the amount is not material, or that an estimate of loss cannot be made. The Company expenses its legal fees as incurred.
	In assessing potential loss contingencies, the Company considers a number of factors, including those listed in the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification 450-20, Contingencies – Loss Contingencies, regarding assessing the probability of a loss and assessing whether a loss is reasonably estimable. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of litigation are difficult to predict and the Company’s view of these matters may change as the litigation and events unfold over time. An unfavorable outcome in any legal matter, if material, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the unfavorable outcome occurs and potentially in future periods.


	8. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
	The Company is party to a lawsuit that was filed against it and other parties in the state of South Carolina in connection with certain outdoor candle products that were sold at certain of the Company's stores and are alleged to have caused personal injury. The lawsuit seeks damages from the Company, as well as from one or more manufacturers of these products and the packager of these products. The Company believes it has defenses against these claims and will vigorously defend itself and pursue recovery from insurers and other third parties. The Company maintains insurance policies (subject to customary deductibles) for its defense costs and any liability resulting from the lawsuit, although one of the Company's umbrella carriers that sits above its primary general liability insurer has reserved its rights as to coverage. The manufacturers of the candle product and the fuel gel used in the candle have each filed for bankruptcy. Because the lawsuit is at an early stage, and because of the uncertain status of the liability of third parties and potential recovery from third parties, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the lawsuit or to estimate the amount of damages, if any, that may be awarded. If the Company is ultimately found liable in the lawsuit and insurance is not available, liability resulting from the lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for the period or periods in which it is incurred.

	The Company is party to a lawsuit that was filed against it in U.S. District Court in Connecticut alleging that the manner in which the Company implemented and applied the fluctuating workweek method for calculating the compensation due to the Company's department managers violates the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. The complaint purports to state a collective action on behalf of a class of department managers in stores in states in which the Company uses the fluctuating workweek method of compensation. The Company believes that the fluctuating workweek method (and the manner in which it implemented and applied it) is permissible under federal law and the law of each state in which the Company employs it, and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this proceeding. As the case is in the very early stages, the Company cannot predict whether the Court will dismiss the complaint for having no merit or certify a collective action, nor can the Company predict the amount of damages, if any, that ultimately may be awarded. Should the Company ultimately be found liable in this matter, its liability could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for the period or periods in which it is incurred.
