The Fresh Market, Inc., a specialty grocer, has appointed David Cummings as director of bakery.

“David is a true bakery expert and has a long, dedicated focus in the bakery world,” said Diane Cleven, director of deli, CMS and bakery, whom David will be reporting to. “While this may not be on his resume, he literally started ‘making the donuts’ at his parents Dunkin Donut shop when he was just 13. He has gravitated to specialty bakery as his career progressed, and we could not be more thrilled to have him join our team at The Fresh Market.”
