Sprouts Farmers Market Plans Fort Myers Grand Opening
Sprouts Farmers Market continues moving forward with expansion plans and later in July will open its newest location in Fort Myers, Fla.
The doors to the store at 8595 College Parkway will officially open its doors at 7 p.m. on July 21 following a ribbon cutting ceremony. From Friday, July 21, through Sunday, July 23, a variety of activities will celebrate the grand opening. A “pop-up party” out front will give guests the chance to taste seasonal produce, play games, have their face painted, watch artists carve large produce and more. These activities are fun for the whole family and will last all weekend long.
The first 200 shoppers on Friday and Saturday will receive a free ‘Goodness it’s Free’ reusable goodie bag filled with special products and samples. Inside the store, shoppers can taste new products while they shop from innovative brands at the Vendor Village.
On Saturday, a special “guess the weight” contest of an oversized piece of produce will take place. On Sunday, dog lovers will be gifted dog treats from Bundle X Joy and kids will enjoy a reusable coloring tote activity. Plus, live music and prizes giveaway throughout the weekend will add to the festivities.
Customers who text “FORT” to 777-688 will receive 20% off their purchase over the grand opening weekend (July 21-23) when they scan their app account barcode at checkout; up to two redemptions per Sprouts account per day. Additionally, through the app, shoppers can view Sprouts’ weekly ad and save more than $100 with digital coupons on grocery staples and new items every month.
The celebrations and discounts won’t end after this grand opening weekend. In the weeks following, customers will receive $10 off when they spend $50 or more, with a valid coupon. A customer appreciation event will be held on September 16 where guests will be treated to giveaways and more!
