Expanded reach is heavy on the mind for Sprouts Farmers Market. The retail chain announced a plan to double its store count in Philadelphia, introducing two new locations to the market this month.
The first store, located at the Roosevelt Mall, is set to open on June 14 while a Quartermaster Plaza location will cut a ribbon on June 21.
While the retailer did not directly comment on the move in recently released details, locals showed excitement and anticipation for more of the stores’ doors to open.
“I am excited to welcome Sprouts Farmers Market to Philadelphia,” said Mayor Cherelle L. Parker in a press release. “In addition to providing fresh, healthy, and specialty foods to Philadelphians, Sprouts also brings jobs to our communities, playing an important role in our vision of a safer, cleaner, greener Philadelphia, with access to economic opportunity for all.”
The retailer is engaging shoppers with a variety of Grand Opening weekend events celebrating both additions.
In addition, the two new stores will donate nutrient-rich, edible groceries to local food bank Philabundance, effectively reducing food waste through Sprouts’ Food Rescue program.
