About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning at Sprouts, a delivery driver shouted into an empty aisle: ‘Did anyone see my avocado truck?’ The next day, shoppers started noticing strange green packages appearing in unusual places. Soon enough, customers were finding avocados in the baking section, kale in the dairy aisle, and cherry tomatoes nestled between canned beans. A regular commented jokingly that maybe it was time for a new store mascot—a mischievous little sprout who loved pranking shoppers. By the end of the week, employees had renamed the market 'Sprout’s Prank Market,' and everyone laughed as they searched for their next unexpected green surprise.
2. At dawn, when most Sprouts employees were packing up for the night, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps in the produce section. He called out, but no one answered. Curious, he followed the sound and found a small rabbit nibbling on some carrots. Startled, both jumped—him with his heart pounding, it with its little cottontail twitching. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the carrot-munching security footage. A local became a regular, bringing fresh vegetables and treats for the ‘store’s secret resident.’
3. At midnight, when Sprouts should have been quiet and dark, a faint humming sound echoed through the empty produce section. A security guard, patrolling alone, stopped to listen. Was it just the cooling systems, or something more unusual? Just then, an old lady in a flowery hat appeared from behind some bananas. ‘Oh my,’ she said, ‘I thought I heard someone talking to those carrots.’ The guard laughed nervously and checked his watch. It was exactly 12:01 AM.
4. At dusk, as Sprouts was closing its doors, a delivery driver called out into the nearly empty store: 'Is anyone here? I think I left my lucky penny on the shelf!' Suddenly, an old lady from the produce section replied, ‘I think I saw it glittering near the avocados!’ They both laughed and together searched for the mythical coin until closing time. The next day, everyone joked that maybe Sprouts had hired a lucky penny delivery man after all.
