Freshtown opened up its Newburgh location at the former Big Lots site on North Plank Road on Feb. 21, 2025, after about nine months of construction. The 25,000-square-foot supermarket was billed as a "brand new, state-of-the-art grocery store."

Sadly for customers, the store only lasted about nine months, about the same length of construction.

We tried very hard to give you a great store with Great Low Prices but unfortunately the store did not perform the way we expected," Freshtown said in a statement. "We are very grateful for all the business that you have given us. We truly appreciate it."
