I'm excited to see Sprouts setting up shop in town! We shopped there in the ATL area, and it will definitely be competition for Earth Fare, Whole Paycheck, Trader Joe's, and the Co-op. They have good prices compared to some of the aforementioned stores, and some of their meats were locally sourced. What we not so fond of was their produce section. While extensive, it was often dated, limp, or otherwise not of the greatest quality. For that, nothing beats the farmers markets. IMO. Generally, though, they had a good selection of wares, sometimes brands and products you won't find anywhere else, an extensive beauty and supplement department, and quite an assortment of bulk merchandise.
Looking forward to shopping with them again.
