Sprouts Farmers Market says it plans for significant expansion in 2025, with a focus on Florida.

This strategic growth will bring more than seven new stores to the state, reinforcing Sprouts’ commitment to providing fresh and healthy food options to communities across the state, according to a news release. The company said the new locations will offer Sprouts’ selection of fresh and organic produce, responsibly sourced meat and seafood and an assortment of innovative and better-for-you products.

The expansion is expected to create more than 650 jobs across Florida, including positions like clerk-level roles, specialty positions, assistant department manager and upper management roles. Sprouts said the new locations also will support job creation and partnerships with local farmers, suppliers and community organizations.

Sprouts plans to host two upcoming hiring events in preparation for the opening of its two newest Florida locations.

The first event is for the Coconut Creek store, scheduled to open April 25. A virtual hiring event for management and specialty roles will be held Jan. 29. In-person team member hiring events will take place March 11-12 at the Coconut Creek Community Center, 1100 Lyons Road.

The second hiring event is for its new store in East Boynton Beach, scheduled to open April 4. A virtual hiring event for management and specialty roles will be held Feb. 5, and in-person team member hiring events will take place Feb. 20-21 at the Embassy Suites Boca Raton, 661 NW 53rd St.

Information and about date, time or location changes is available through the Sprouts hiring events webpage.

To kick off the new year, Sprouts’ first location will open Jan. 31 in St. Johns, with additional location opening to follow across Greater Orlando, St. Petersburg and in Palm Beach County, the release said.
