Sprouts Farmers Market Kicks Off 2025 With its First Store Opening of the Year in Florida

Jacksonville, FL - Sprouts Farmers Market, recently named Progressive Grocer's Retailer of the Year, has announced it will open a new store in St. Johns, FL on Friday, January 31 located at 120 Shops Blvd. A ribbon cutting will take place on Friday at 6:45 a.m. and doors will open to the public at 7 a.m.

"St. Johns County is the healthiest county in Florida, as published by the U.S. News & World Report in 2024. So, it makes sense for Sprouts Farmers Market to open their newest location in St. Johns County, Florida, said Christian Whitehurst, Commissioner District 1 of St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners. "Sprouts cultivates a culture and community of health. From its farm-fresh produce and other healthy, affordable items in its stores, to its Healthy Communities Foundation, Sprouts is growing knowledge and accessibility to healthy food choices. We welcome Sprouts to St. Johns County and look forward to them being a great corporate neighbor to our residents."

Grand Opening Weekend Events:

From Friday, January 31 through Sunday, February 2, a variety of activities for the community will take place to celebrate the grand opening. A "pop-up party" out front will give guests the chance to taste seasonal produce from the tasting bar, participate in a "guess the weight" contest of an oversized piece of produce and more.

The first 200 shoppers on Friday and Saturday will receive a free 'Goodness it's Free' reusable goodie bag filled with special products. Plus, the first 400 guests on Friday will receive a free long stem rose courtesy of Falcon Farms Floral. Inside the store, shoppers can experience innovative brands at the Vendor Village, try free samples throughout the store and get exclusive offers on purchases.

Shoppers who sign up for a Sprouts Rewardsaccount can receive 20% off their purchase over the grand opening weekend when they scan their app account barcode or enter their phone number at checkout. Shoppers can also view Sprouts' weekly ad and save more than $100 with digital coupons on grocery staples and new items every month in the app. Customers will also have the chance to win a $500 Sprouts gift card up until midnight on February 2 when they sign up via the store page on Sprouts' website.

Sprouts Farmers Market is invested in serving the communities where it operates. It works with local Florida farmers such as Alderman Farms, Always Fresh Farms, BBI Produce Inc., Brooks Tropicals, Duda Farm Fresh Foods, Grimes Produce Company, H&A Farms, J&C Tropicals, Jim Rash Inc., and Noble Citrus to source local produce.

Through Sprouts' Food Rescue program this store will donate groceries that are no longer fit for sale but remain perfectly edible and nutrient rich to Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, a local organization that provides fresh and nutritious food access to our neighbors in need across St. Johns County.

This location will be open daily from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. For more information and to sign up to win the pre-opening gift card, visit www.Sprouts.com/stjohns.
