Sprouts Farmers Market keeps the store openings coming

A Sprouts Farmers Market will open in Middletown, Del., marking the second location in the state.

A “pop-up party” from Dec. 6 to Dec. 8 will give guests the chance to taste seasonal produce at the tasting bar and participate in a “guess the weight” contest with an oversized piece of produce. Other activities will also be available for shoppers throughout the weekend.

Shoppers can text to receive 20% off their purchase during the grand opening weekend by scanning their app account barcode at checkout. They can also enter for a chance to win a $500 Sprouts gift card, with the contest open until midnight on Dec. 8.
