Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., is an American supermarket chain headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. The stores are full-service and emphasize organic foods including fresh produce, bulk foods, vitamins and supplements, packaged groceries, meat and seafood, deli, baked goods, dairy products, frozen foods, natural body care and household items. The chain was created to respond to consumers’ growing demand in health and wellness.[2] Sprouts employs more than 30,000 team members and operates more than 300 stores in 20 states from coast to coast.[3] A typical Sprouts Farmers Market store is around 30,000 square feet.[4] Sprouts is traded on the NASDAQ as SFM.[5]
Products
Sprouts Farmers Market aims to sell products that are minimally processed and free of artificial flavors, colors, preservatives and synthetic ingredients. The company says that 90% of its products meet this standard.[6] The company sells many USDA-certified organic foods and products that aim to be environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible.
Sprouts has its own private label brand of products, featuring more than 2,400 items.[7] Sprouts offers beef products that range from choice cuts to grass-fed.[8] Sprouts has a large Vitamins & Supplements department with more than 7,500 products.[4] Produce makes up approximately a quarter of the business for Sprouts and the store carries around 200 varieties of organic produce.[8] As a healthy food grocer dedicated to affordability and accessibility, third of the store is always on promotion.[9]
Charitable giving
In 2015, Sprouts founded the Healthy Communities Foundation, which supports local health and wellness related causes.[10] In 2017, the Healthy Communities Foundation awarded $2.2 million to nonprofit organizations.[11] Sprouts has a Food Rescue program that donates edible, unsold groceries to local food banks.[3] Sprouts donated more than 19 million pounds of unsold groceries through their Food Rescue program in 2016.[3]
Sustainability
Sprouts is committed to making their stores “Zero Waste” by 2020.[12]
Animal product concerns
In April 2017, the network Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) released the results of their investigation into cage-free egg supplier Morning Fresh Farms.[13] The Phoenix Business Journal reported a video of Morning Fresh Farms depicted chicken starvation and dehydration. Sprouts confirmed that the video is not reflective of Morning Fresh Farms' cage-free facility in Colorado where the grocer's certified humane cage-free eggs are supplied from.[14]
