Citrus Heights Store Opens March 14

A brand new Sprouts Farmers Market store is set to open in the Sacramento, CA suburb of Citrus Heights on Wednesday, March 14.

The 30,000 square foot store at 7905 Greenback Lane is located in a building that previously housed Old Navy and an Eddie Bauer Outlet. 

This will be the third Sprouts store in the greater Sacramento area, joining existing locations in Roseville and Elk Grove. 

Like other Sprouts stores, it will feature a broad selection of farm-fresh produce, a 200-bin scoop-your-own wonderland of bulk foods, natural meats and seafood delivered fresh up to six days per week, thousands of vitamins and body care items, dairy and deli products, and aisle upon aisle of natural, organic and great-tasting mainstream foods.

The store will open on time despite a devastating fire that destroyed parts of adjacent buildings on November 8, 2011.  That three-alarm blaze collapsed the roof of the nearby Tuesday Morning and also damaged BevMo, but left the Sprouts construction site untouched.

"We were extremely fortunate to avoid any damage or delays from the fire," said Sprouts President Doug Sanders.  "We extend our sympathies to the management of our fellow retailers, and look forward to welcoming them back later this year."

The Citrus Heights store will be the 105th for the 10-year-old Sprouts, which is based in Phoenix, AZ.  Additional store openings are planned in 2012 for La Canada/Flintridge, Whittier and Walnut Creek, CA; and for Ahwatukee, AZ.
