Sprouts Farmers Market confirms new Durham location

Sprouts Farmers Market has just confirmed the new location coming to southern Durham!

The new grocery store will be located at 105 West NC Highway 54 in Durham at the intersection of Hwy. 54 and Fayetteville Road.

Although the Grand Opening date has not yet been announced, the store is expected to open in the third quarter of 2018.

There is currently one Sprouts location in the Triangle. The 30,000 square foot store opened on March 15, 2017 and is located at 9414 Falls of Neuse Road, Raleigh, NC, in the Olive Park shopping center. Fayetteville also has a Sprouts location at 2810 Freedom Parkway Dr. Both stores are open daily from 7 am - 10 pm.

Sprouts offers fresh, natural and organic groceries in a "setting that feels like an old-fashioned farmers market" according to their website. Stores include produce, meat, seafood, deli, dairy, frozen, bulk bins, baked products, ready-to-eat meals, gourmet cheeses, gluten-free products, vitamins, health and beauty and more. Sprouts has excellent produce and meat buys every week and this new location will be a welcome addition to the grocery scene in Durham.

“As we continue to enter new markets, we’re pleased with the customer response to Sprouts’ unique combination of health and value,” said Sprouts Chief Development Officer Ted Frumkin. Each store will bring approximately 140 new career opportunities to its local neighborhood.

Since opening its doors 15 years ago, Sprouts has appealed to everyday shoppers interested in fresh, natural and organic products at affordable prices. Sprouts offers fresh produce, meat and seafood from The Butcher Shop and Fish Market, freshly prepared entrees and sides at the Market Corner Deli, bulk foods, vitamins and supplements, dairy, bakery, natural body care items and more. In addition to thousands of natural, organic and gluten-free groceries, shoppers can find more than 2,400 Sprouts Brand items, which meet strict ingredient standards while delivering exceptional value, taste and quality.

Sprouts is dedicated to growing responsibly and has committed to a “Zero Waste” threshold by 2020, as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Sprouts Food Rescue program donates unsold and edible groceries, including fresh produce, from its stores and distribution centers to food banks in all of its markets. Local relief agencies pick up this food, which would otherwise go to waste, and distribute it to families in need. In 2017, Sprouts donated 23 million pounds of product, equivalent to 19 million meals. Food that is not fit for human consumption is either composted or sent to cattle ranches through Sprouts’ Food Waste to Farms program.

Sprouts employs more than 28,000 team members and operates nearly 300 stores in 16 states from coast to coast. Visit about.sprouts.com for more information.
