80 students and faculty from Arizona State University’s Sustainable Food Systems program visited the Glendale, AZ Distribution Center for a tour that sparked their curiosity about food systems and sustainability. The group, split into three smaller tours, explored key topics including store and DC operations, the customer order lifecycle, Vocollect execution software, inbound and outbound transportation, quality control, fruit ripening, and sustainability efforts, such as recycling streams for various commodities.
In addition to the distribution center, students also toured Store #20 and Duncan Farms, getting an inside look at how Sprouts sustainable practices come to life in our stores and the supply chain.
