We know a lot of people are wondering if the healthy grocery store chain Sprouts will open a location in Franklin, specifically in the space where Stein Mart occupied in the Maples Shopping Center on Murfreesboro Road.

Unfortunately, we can’t say for sure just yet if the organic grocery store will open a location in Franklin, but here’s what we know.

In March when rumors began circulating that the store may come to Franklin, we contacted Sprouts but at that time the only Tennessee store they said they had plans to open this year was in Memphis. A store in the Lakeland area of Memphis opened recently and one in Germantown will open in July.

Nashvillepost.com reports that the company is planning to open a Murfreesboro store by mid-2016.

It has also been reported that Sprouts is interested in becoming a part of the Bellevue Center Mall redevelopment on Hwy 70 in Nashville. However, “Diego Romero, corporate communications manager, declined to note if the Tennessean report (which does not name sources) regarding Bellevue is accurate.” added Nashvillepost.com

On April 1st, Sprouts said they plan to open 8 new stores in the 3rd quarter of 2015. These stores are located in Texas, Colorado and Germantown, Tennessee.

Sprouts operates 190 stores in 11 states. Their motto is “Healthy Living for Less” and they promise quality products at affordable prices. So, will Sprouts expand to Franklin?  We’ll just have to wait and see but it’s apparent that residents of Williamson County are very interested in the thought of Sprouts moving into the old Stein Mart location. What do you think?
