Sprouts grand opening is scheduled for Friday, October 30th. Activities for families and kids will take place there throughout the weekend.
Ted Herman of Larsen Baker said Sprouts recognized SE Pima County was extremely underserved. He shared an anecdotal story about a friend who chose Vail because of the school district and found that all the stores were sold out when he went to buy school supplies for his kids.
Herman went on to say he understands Costco is close to being fully permitted and with the Walmart Superstore on the way “this a major trade corridor period. Hands down. Another developer is planning to bring in more stores. And with those stores will come more sit-down eateries. SE Pima County is one of the few areas that make sense to invest in ground up construction.”
He also anticipates Old Vail Road to get a complete make over with the addition of the Walmart Superstore and Costco on the same road.
Sprouts openings in other cities have included free reusable tote bags for first shoppers, free flowers, pop-up parties, free samples, and a scavenger hunt. Visit The Vail Voice Facebook page for a specific schedule and list of activities in our area.
Adjacent pads housing First Watch and the other retail are planned to open in the first quarter of 2027.
Sprouts is based out of Phoenix and has about 500 stores in 25 states.
