Sprouts’ long-term plan targets about 10% annual unit growth, supported by a smaller 21,000–25,000 square foot format that is cheaper to build and operate. It opened 37, 33 and 30 new stores in fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, and expects more than 40 openings in 2026. The Sprouts Brand private-label portfolio represented just over 25% of revenue in 2025.

Organic products remained central to the model, accounting for more than 30% of total sales and over 50% of fresh produce sales. Sprouts launched more than 7,000 new products in 2025 and continues to emphasize attribute-driven items such as plant-based, gluten-free and non-GMO. Supply chain investments include six fresh distribution centers, with about 80% of stores within 250 miles of a facility, and a transition to self-distribution for meat and seafood serving roughly 70% of stores.

The company highlights sustainability and community impact, including rescuing 36 million pounds of food in 2025 and over $50 million in total donations since 2015 through the Sprouts Healthy Communities Foundation. Human capital remains a focus, with more than 36,000 team members, around 3,700 new jobs created in 2025, and approximately 6,000 internal promotions.
