SPOKANE, WA - A regional Washington State grocery chain recently made an acquisition bid. Yoke’s Fresh Markets, which currently consists of 17 stores, entered into an agreement to buy two Missoula Fresh Market locations.

"At Yoke’s, our mission is to expand our services to this new market," explained John Bole, the Chief Executive Officer for Yoke’s Fresh Market’s, in a report from the Missoulian. "Yoke's is excited to expand our family."

According to the source, Bole commented that the Missoula Fresh Markets locations will be transformed as they transition to the Yoke’s Fresh Markets model.

This means there will be an increased focus on organic and specialty products, especially organic produce.

As the news source reported, the deal was facilitated by The Food Partners, who were the strategic and financial partners for Missoula Fresh Market.
