Sprouts Farmers Market is expanding rapidly, with significant new store openings on both coasts of the United States, paving the way for a heightened grocery shopping experience. On August 9, 2024, the retailer welcomed customers to its newest location in Brooksville, Florida, located at 7187 Coastal Boulevard. The grand opening was a vibrant affair, featuring goodie bag giveaways, seasonal produce tastings, and fun contests. This store, like its counterparts, focuses on providing a diverse selection of grocery staples and locally sourced fresh produce.

Supplier partnerships are crucial to Sprouts’ success. The Brooksville store collaborates with local producers such as Astin Strawberry Exchange and Noble Citrus, ensuring that customers have access to quality, locally grown items each day. In alignment with its commitment to sustainability, the supermarket also donates surplus edible food to local food banks, making a positive impact on the community.

Across the nation, another Sprouts opened simultaneously in Lawndale, California, showcasing the retailer’s strategy to grow its physical presence. Both stores maintain flexible hours, operating daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Future openings in Westminster, Maryland, and several locations across states like Pennsylvania and Texas are set for August and September.

This expansion reflects the company’s overall growth strategy, with projections indicating a 3.5% to 4.5% increase in sales comp for the upcoming quarter and the addition of 35 new stores by the end of FY2024. With over 400 stores operating nationwide and a workforce of approximately 32,000 associates, Sprouts is thriving in an increasingly competitive retail landscape, ranking 51st on Progressive Grocer’s 2024 list of top food retailers in North America.
