Sprouts sets opening date for 7th Avenue store

Sprouts Farmers Market will open its new location on 7^th Avenue and Osborn on Wednesday, August 22. The new store will be the Phoenix-based grocer’s fifth new location to open in Arizona this year. 

The Phoenix location joins three other new Sprouts opening the same day in Lodi, Calif., Las Vegas, Nev. and Durham, NC, marking a record number of same-day openings for the healthy grocer. Sprouts reached its 16^th year of operation last month and now operates more than 300 stores in 17 states from coast to coast.

Sprouts has been a driving force for making healthy food affordable and accessible since its inception and has paved the way for numerous natural brands. The Phoenix store will offer locally made products from Arizona-based producers, including Danzeisen Dairy, Lawless Jerky, Kettle Heroes, Hayden Flour Mill, Matcha Marketplace, PB Americano, Pickled Perfection and Queen Creek Olive Mill.

As part of Sprouts’ commitment to “zero waste,” the new Phoenix store will donate unsold and edible groceries to St. Mary’s Food Bank through the grocer’s Food Rescue program. In 2017, Sprouts stores and distribution centers donated 23 million pounds of product, equivalent to 19 million meals. Food that is not fit for donation is provided to local cattle farms and composting facilities. Sprouts’ evolving “zero waste” initiatives help minimize food waste while reducing the impact of hunger and the company’s environmental footprint.
