Sprouts is an American chain of specialty grocery stores with over 212 locations across the United States. Sprouts stores are smaller than a typical supermarket, focusing on fresh foods, produce, healthy foods and vitamins/supplements. Its corporate headquarters are in Phoenix.[1]
Sprouts is the second specialty market brand developed by the Henry Boney family and friends, who sold their Henry's Farmers Market in 1999. This includes Kevin Easler, Shon Boney, Scott Wing, Stan Boney, and maybe other executives.[2] In February 2011, Apollo Global Management announced that it was acquiring Sprouts via its Smart & Final subsidiary, and merging it with Henry's Farmers Market and Sun Harvest. The combined company, which operates under the name Sprouts Farmers Market, has over 100 stores and had more than 7,000 employees at the end of 2011.[3][4]
The merger reunites two market chains founded by the Henry Boney Family, which remains active in its management.[5] [6]
In March 2012 Sprouts Farmers Market acquired Sunflower Farmers Market.[7]
Sprouts Farmers Market raised $333M in an IPO on NASDAQ with the symobol SFM on August 1, 2013. Share prices rose 123% from $18.00 to $40.11 on its first day of trading.[8]
