St. Petersburg, Florida – A new Sprouts Farmers Market will open its doors in St. Petersburg on November 14. The store, which spans 23,000 square feet, is situated at 3411 32nd Ave. South and is a key component of the ambitious Sky Town project in the Skyway Marina District.
The opening of this store signifies a significant milestone for the larger $800 million Sky Town development. The project, managed by the Miami firm Altis Cardinal, aims to transform an old office site into a vibrant mixed-use community featuring 2,084 residential units along with various retail spaces and storage facilities over a span of 34 acres.
The Sprouts store has been purposely positioned on the east end of the property by local builder Hawkins Construction. A ceremonial ribbon cutting will initiate the grand opening festivities at 6:45 a.m. on the day of the launch, and the first 400 customers can expect to receive roses, as well as goodie bags available for early arrivals.
This new store marks Sprouts Farmers Market’s sixth location in Pinellas County, complementing existing locations in Kenneth City, Seminole, Largo, Clearwater, and Palm Harbor. Known for its emphasis on fresh food, the store will feature an open design layout that customers will find inviting and easy to navigate.
Shoppers can look forward to a diverse selection of fresh produce, bulk items, wellness products, and a meat counter offering grass-fed cuts. Additionally, the deli case will provide quick meal options, and the store will stock its own brand of products.
Sprouts Farmers Market, which was founded in Phoenix, operates 415 stores across the United States, including over 50 locations in Florida. The company recognized Florida as a crucial area for its expansion strategy back in 2017. Sprouts began its journey from a single shop established by the Boney family in 2002, with the mission of increasing access to fresh food for communities.
The weekend of the grand opening promises a three-day celebration featuring hunts, games, and free samples to welcome shoppers. In preparation for the opening, in-person hiring events are scheduled at the Hilton St. Petersburg Carillon Park on September 30 and October 1 to recruit potential employees for the new location.
Additionally, Sprouts locations in Florida place a priority on sourcing local produce specifically from family-run farms, ensuring that community members have access to high-quality, fresh food options. Overall, the opening of this new Sprouts Farmers Market in St. Petersburg represents both a growth opportunity for the company and a valuable resource for local residents.
