cookies, pasta sauces and salad dressing.
"People love our sea salt vinegar almonds," said
Marketing Manager Lacey Davidson, who flew in
from Phoenix, for the opening. "Here we have our
first juice bar in California." And there's a
Panini bar, expanded gourmet cheese area and
olive bar, with 16 different varieties.
"We pride ourselves with the freshest vegetables
and fruits," Davidson said. "Not only do we
offer great value and quality but your
satisfaction is guaranteed. If you're not
delighted with anything you purchase at Sprouts,
we'll be happy to exchange it or with a proper
receipt, refund your money. We want you to use

The store, which is open 7am to 10pm daily, also
has "Double Ad Wednesdays," where you can use
the previous week's ads and the current week's
ads for discounts. Store Manager Eric Kee said
he's excited about his friendly management team
and employees. "They're very knowledgeable and
want to exceed customer expectations." Assistant
Store Manager Matt Kuntz, Regional Vice
President Glade Campbell and others were busy
making the final magical touches before the
store's grand opening, January 22. The newest
Sprouts, located in the former Ralphs, which has
been closed for over 5 years, is a welcome
addition to the region. Welcome Sprouts!
