A healthy grocery retailer plans to open its first Louisiana store in Baton Rouge this year.
According to a Tuesday release from the company, Sprouts Farmers Market is opening nine new stores in three new states: Louisiana, New Jersey and Virginia. The Baton Rouge store will be located at 4841 Rouzan Square Avenue

The grocer appeals to everyday shoppers who want to purchase fresh and organic products at affordable prices. Sprout stores offer The Butcher Shop and Fish Market, freshly prepared entrees and sides at the Market Corner Deli, bulk foods, vitamins and supplements as well as dairy, bakery and natural body care items


SIAP

In addition to the state’s first Trader Joe’s, Fresh Market, Bass Pro, and Top Golf....Baton Rouge will also get a Sprouts this year.

they're OK, nothing special, vegetables should be good because they supposedly use locally grown produce

doubtful. i have one a mile away from my house in one of the north atlanta burbs and it's pricey as hell. I doubt it encourages the fast food crowd to change their eating habits.

That’s what that is?

I heard they were going to landscape and decorate it. I thought it was another Rouses.

Nah this store focuses on fresh fruits and vegetables. Sort of like a big indoor farmers market.

He wouldn’t go there anyway.

Yep, even with landscaping I'm not sure how you can make it look much better. It's a massive windowless concrete wall

Huh? If you're buying grocery items, yeah. It's like whole foods, they have specialized products and lots of organics.

Produce, bulk, and meat are the reasons to shop there. Decent to high quality and cheaper than most others with a large variety.

And I don't know if they changed yet, but those Atlanta stores used to get deliveries out of the warehouse outside of Dallas in wilmer. I always felt bad for those drivers.
