Sprouts Farmers Market

It's a food store with slightly expensive for what you really get store. It truly is no better than the other two big stores we have. It is less packed with people and the staff is friendly. They do have samples available regularly. Plenty of gluten free options and other allergy/ diet restriction options. Go here if you must but I don't think it is worth the price difference for equal product elsewhere.

I used to love this store and have come to despise it. They jacked up their prices during Covid and everything is completely outrageous now. Not to mention they stopped carrying some of my favorite gluten-free items, which was the only reason I made a trip out of the way here. Today I stopped in because I saw something on sale that I was interested in, and even checked the inventory online before I came. When I showed up at the store, the item was gone. In the past, sprouts used to give a rain check for sale items so you could come back and get that item later if they were sold out. I asked the cashier for one today and her response was “nope.” Confused, I said, “sprouts has always done this for sale items that are out of stock.” Her snarky reply was “not any more.” And THAT is why I won’t be shopping here again. Inflated prices plus rude customer service = I’ll drive the extra couple of minutes to Trader Joe’s HAPPILY!
