What’s Sprouting Up on Murfreesboro Road?

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.

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.

Multiple sources have now confirmed that Sprouts will occupy the old Stein Mart building in the Maples Shopping Center. At this point we do not have a definite timeline as to when the store will open.  But keep checking back as we continue to track the progress of the store.

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 212 stores in 11 states. Their motto is “Healthy Living for Less” and they promise quality products at affordable prices.  In a second quarter report, Doug Sander, President and CEO says, “we continue to focus on our tremendous growth opportunities in existing markets and new markets like Tennessee, and remain confident in our long-term target of 1,200 stores across the country.”
