On July 11, 2025, we proudly opened the doors at Store #671 in Ocala, FL!
What an incredible debut—over 600 enthusiastic customers lined up early Friday morning to welcome the very first Sprouts in the area, located 26 miles from the nearest store. The excitement was palpable, especially among Ocala’s large retired community, whose availability helped make the Friday opening a true celebration.
To build momentum, three billboards launched five weeks ahead of opening—two weeks earlier than usual—boosting brand and store awareness across the expansive trade area. The strategy paid off: Store #671 exceeded its goals for sales, basket size, and transactions during grand opening weekend!
Sprouts also made headlines in the Ocala Gazette on opening day, kicking off a nine-week print, digital, and email campaign tailored to the older demographic in the region who prefer traditional media. With strong community buzz and a smart marketing push, Ocala is off to a fantastic start!

On July 25, 2025, we officially opened the doors at Store #859 in Montgomeryville, PA!
The energy was electric as around 440 customers streamed in right at 7am to kick off Grand Opening weekend. Many expressed excitement about having a Sprouts conveniently closer to home, and the enthusiasm didn’t stop there.
Thanks to a successful store team training, employees were well-prepared and knowledgeable. The launch of Sprouts Rewards from day one proved to be a game-changer, with customers highly engaged and eager to sign up. One even broke into a dance after downloading the app!
Having a dedicated loyalty team member on-site made a big impact, helping customers navigate sign-ups, update zip codes, and locate barcodes. Special shoutouts go to Brian (Bakery Manager), Savannah (Sales Ambassador), and Ryan (SCO Host) for their proactive support at the Rewards Ambassador table.
With strong community engagement and a seamless start, Montgomeryville is already feeling like home for Sprouts!
