Grand opening kicks off on Aug. 29

Sprouts Farmers Market has announced it will open a new store in Knoxville, Friday, Aug. 29, at 9622 Kingston Pike, with doors opening at 7 a.m.

Through Sunday, Aug. 31, a variety of activities will celebrate the grand opening.

“A ‘pop-up party’ out front will give guests the chance to taste seasonal produce from the tasting bar, participate in a ‘guess the weight’ contest of an oversized piece of produce and more, a Sprouts press release stated. “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, reusable goodie bag filled with special products and samples,” the release stated. “Plus, the first 400 guests on Friday will receive a free, long-stem rose courtesy of Falcon Farms Floral.

“Inside the store, shoppers can taste new products while they shop from innovative brands at the Vendor Village,” the release added. “Giveaways and music throughout the weekend will also add to the festivities.”

“Sprouts Farmers Market is invested in serving the communities where it operates,” it stated. “It works with local Tennessee farmers, such as Southern Valley Fruit and Vegetable Inc., to source local produce.

“Through Sprouts’ Food Rescue program, this store will donate groceries that are no longer fit for sale but remain perfectly edible and nutrient rich to the Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee,” the release stated.
