What Sprouts Farmers Market does
Sprouts Farmers Market is a grocery chain that focuses on fresh, natural and organic food. It is based in Phoenix and had 477 stores in 24 states at the end of December 2025. Shoppers buy produce, meat and seafood, deli and bakery items, dairy, packaged groceries, vitamins and supplements, bulk foods, frozen foods, beer and wine, and health and body care products. Sprouts also offers delivery and pickup through its website and app. All of its revenue comes from selling food and related goods to shoppers at its stores and online, and it reports one segment. Its stores put produce in the center, and it typically dedicates approximately 20% of selling space to it. Its own Sprouts Brand products made up just over 25% of revenue in fiscal 2025.
