New Sprouts Farmer's Market Opens

Last month on Wednesday, January 26^Th a new neighborhood market, Sprouts, opened its doors. This new food store features fresh produce bought from growers, imported dairy, health products, and nutritionally geared specialties for all ages. This new Texas location has been added from the first stores in Arizona along with Colorado and California. Other stores in Texas have already opened in Austin, Flower Mound, and Coppell to name a few. Sprouts is located at 4650 Loop 820 highway at the Hulen exit, opposite of the mall on Fort Worth's southwest side.

I followed my weekly advertisement paper received in the mail to join in the Grand Opening hoopla last week at Sprouts. Huge sales and a few freebies brought in crowds. The line to the checkout was almost a 30 minute wait. People were stacked into the lines throughout the store all the way to the back entrance. I got a free reusable grocery bag at the checkout and was entered to win a rebate certificate for my total purchase amount. The great buys here were the dollar items. Specials like their original aroma soaps, store brand cereals, and choice produce were all one dollar. It was worth going out to see this big event.

The staff there was enthusiastic about the big day. Everyone I talked to was helpful and friendly. I would compare this place to a few other stores including the Central Market. Heavy competing in the city for quality grocers brought on the 7 am opening with even more free food to be given away. I noticed when in line that one clerk was already refilling the bulk trail mixes from high volume demands of the day.

Best of all is the selection of gluten free, vegan, organic, and whole grain products on the shelves. I found helpful guides on the Sprouts website explaining the various uses for this kind of diet. Since I have started a new diet, I am curious to get health conscious and learn about new products. This store was full of surprises for me. The brand names with nutritiously aimed ideas their foods are all there. This is all new to me, just like this store.

Sprouts Farmers Market is now officially open and operating from 7am to 10pm. Go and look around for great values in their fresh products. I recommend a trip out to Sprouts for produce, nutritional supplements, and special diet needs.
