One new locations is only days away, and shoppers can expect a big celebration to mark the special occasion.
Sprouts Farmers Market currently operates more than 400 stores throughout the US, and is bringing out even more this year.

Sprouts is set to debut a new store in the city of Pittsburg, California very soon.
The 23,000 square-foot location has been in the works since 2023, and is just days away from its June 27 opening date.
Sprouts is opening within the Shoppes at San Marco, a move which has been hailed by local officials.
During the announcement ceremony in 2023, Chamber of Commerce CEO Wolfgang Croskey praised Sprouts for coming to the city.
He described Pittsburg as a “food desert”.
Croskey said: “We have done everything with the city to recruit grocery stores from Southern California trying to reach everyone.
“Sprouts is the one who chose Pittsburg.”
Shoppers can expect plenty of events to celebrate the grand opening, including a pop-up party from Friday June 27 to Sunday June 29.
Contests will be thrown, and giveaways will feature free reusable goodie bags for the first 200 shoppers on the Friday and Saturday.
The goodie bags are said to include special products and samples
The first 400 guests to arrive on the Friday will also receive long-stemmed roses.
Over the weekend, shoppers will enjoy up to 20% off on their purchase when they text BURG to 777-688 and scan their app account barcode at checkout.
This is eligible for one Sprout account per day, with a maximum of $20 to be saved.

For 2025, Sprouts is planning “at least” 35 new stores, including a few in Florida specifically.
