Dave's Fresh Marketplace expanded into the village of Wickford in fall of 1998 by buying and renovating an old Valueland. Buoyed by its strong neighborhood roots, Dave's of Wickford expanded and updated in 2005 to include a full service kitchen, pizza station, and seafood department. Recent upgrades with new Energy Saving refrigeration units, doors, and LED lighting have created an even warm and inviting venue. Customers enthusiastically enjoy the shopping experience with booths up front to dine and meet old friends or neighbors. Reviewers praise the store's fresh produce, meats, and seafood, including sushi-grade options. The selection of foods is very good, though some wish for more organic fresh vegetables and low-carb/keto items. Overall, Dave's Fresh Marketplace is considered an excellent local supermarket chain with friendly staff and a clean, welcoming vibe.
