Apollo Scoops Up The Fresh Market For $1.36B Cash

Apollo Global Management has gotten the go-ahead from local produce grocer The Fresh Market for its $1.36B buyout of the retailer, the companies announced Monday.

Apollo will throw down $28.50/share for the chain, 24% above Friday’s closing and 53% above the price before the deal first got underway, Forbes reports.
