Fresh Thyme Holding Job Fair to Help Staff Deerfield Store

The Deerfield Fresh Thyme location is set to open this summer. Interested job applicants can attend the job fairs March 1 and 8 in Mt. Prospect.

Fresh Thyme grocery store is holding two job fairs next month and is encouraging people who want to work at its future Deerfield store to attend.

The job fairs, March 1 and 8 in Mt. Prospect, will also be used to staff a new Fresh Thyme Farmers Market in that community. But the company is encouraging people who want to work at the Deerfield Fresh Thyme, slated to open this summer at Cadwell Corners, to attend as well.
