SPECIALTY GROCER TO SPROUT 
NEW STORES IN PEACH STATE  
 
By Matt Valley
Specialty grocer Sprouts is expanding into Georgia this year with 
four new stores (Los Angeles location pictured).

LAS VEGAS -- Sprouts Farmers Market Inc., the publicly traded Phoenix-based specialty grocer with an ambitious growth plan, is coming to the Peach State. The first of four Sprouts stores in metro Atlanta will open June 18 in Snellville, followed by more openings later this summer in Dunwoody, Norcross and John's Creek.

 

"We're a chain of 172 units. We'll be at 191 at the end of this year, but our long-term [goal] is 1,200 units," said Ted Frumkin, the company's senior vice president of business development. "We have our work cut out for us."

 

Frumkin's comment came Monday, May 19, during "Retail Trends 2014," a panel discussion moderated by Bill Rose, vice president and national director of the retail group at Marcus & Millichap. Hessam Nadji, senior vice president and chief strategy officer for Marcus & Millichap, provided a largely upbeat outlook for the U.S. economy and retail real estate.

 

The panel discussion took place at the Renaissance Hotel during RECon 2014, the International Council of Shopping Centers' annual global trade show that attracts more than 33,000 industry professionals.

 

Sprouts (NASDAQ: SFM) provides high-quality natural and organic products at prices the everyday grocery shopper can afford, according to the company. The grocer offers fresh produce, bulk foods, vitamins and supplements, packaged groceries, meat and seafood, baked goods, dairy products, frozen foods, natural body care and household items catering to consumers' growing interest in health and wellness.

 

Sprouts currently operates in nine states (California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.) The company opened 19 stores in 2013 and will open another 19 stores this year. Sprouts wants to grow the number of stores by 14 percent annually for the next several years, said Frumkin.
