Description: SFM Sprouts Farmers Market October 30, 2025

Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFM) operates a chain of grocery stores across the United States that focus on fresh, natural, and organic foods. Its assortment spans perishable items-such as produce, meat and meat alternatives, seafood, deli, bakery, floral, and dairy (including dairy alternatives)-as well as non-perishable categories like pantry staples, vitamins, bulk goods, frozen foods, beer, wine, and natural personal-care products, all sold under the Sprouts brand. The company was founded in 1943 and is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona.

Key performance indicators for Sprouts typically include same-store sales growth (which averaged roughly 5% YoY in FY 2023), average basket size (around $45-$50 per transaction), and inventory turnover rates that reflect its emphasis on fresh-food turnover. The retailer’s growth is driven by macro-level trends such as rising consumer willingness to pay a premium for health-focused products, continued urbanization that favors smaller-format stores, and inflationary pressure that makes value-oriented natural foods more attractive relative to conventional supermarkets.
