When world-renowned director Vince Gilligan (creator of “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul”) approached Sprouts to shoot in Store #707 in Albuquerque, NM for his new Apple TV show, it wasn’t about product placement – it was about authenticity. A longtime fan and regular shopper of Sprouts, the director wanted to bring real life into his fictional world within Pluribus.
Two days of filming, 2 overnight shoots later, and lots of emptying shelves and Bulk bins, Sprouts has become part of the Pluribus story. Store #707 appears in two episodes, written directly into the script, and now – as the show debuts – Sprouts is celebrating by naming the show’s main character “Carol”, also a fan of Sprouts in the show, as its “Customer of the Month.”
THANK YOU to all the hardworking, dedicated Team Members that were a part of this project. Your collaboration, energy, and dedication to making this a success was truly appreciated.
