Sprouts Farmers Market Inks Another South Jersey Location

WEST DEPTFORD, NJ — Sprouts Farmers Market has yet another South Jersey location in the works after securing a lease in West Deptford.

The health-focused supermarket has New Jersey stores in Marlton and Haddon Township — the latter opening in September. Sprouts also plans to expand into Washington Township and Aberdeen.

West Deptford's store will replace the shuttered ALDI at the Southwood Shopping Center, according to Vantage Commercial, which facilitated the market's long-term lease. The tear-down and construction project will run parallel to the shopping center's remodel.

Sprouts Farmers Market will occupy a 23,252-square-foot space, according to Vantage Commercial, a Cherry Hill-based brokerage spearheading the shopping center's redevelopment.

"The residents in the area have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of an organic grocer for many years," Corinne Giletto, Vantage Commerial's director of client services, said in a news release.

Founded and headquartered in Arizona, Sprouts opened its first store in 2002 in an effort to make fresh, organic foods less expensive or difficult to find. The chain touts a wide array of fresh produce, along with plenty of organic, plant-based and gluten-free products.

Sprouts operates in 23 states nationwide. Its first New Jersey store opened in 2019 in Marlton.
