Description: SFM Sprouts Farmers Market January 03, 2026

Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:SFM) operates a U.S. chain of grocery stores focused on fresh, natural, and organic products, ranging from perishable items like produce, meat alternatives, and dairy to non-perishable categories such as vitamins, bulk foods, and natural body-care. Founded in 1943 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, the company sells exclusively under the Sprouts brand.

Key performance indicators for Sprouts typically include same-store sales growth (which has averaged around 5-7% YoY pre-COVID) and average basket size, which tends to be higher than the broader grocery sector due to the premium nature of its product mix. The chain’s expansion strategy targets midsize markets with strong health-conscious demographics, leveraging a higher proportion of private-label organic items that command gross margins of roughly 30-35%.

Sector drivers such as rising consumer demand for clean-label foods, sustained interest in plant-based proteins, and inflation-adjusted pricing power are central to Sprouts’ growth outlook; however, supply-chain volatility for fresh produce remains a material risk.
