Overpriced

An update to my previous review, after receiving a generic response from corporate the local store manager called me personally. He was very helpful and friendly he is making the situation right and said they will look into it on their end.

I’m so frustrated with the Visalia, CA sprouts. Multiple things from my last shopping trip were completely rotten or covered in mold. Even though the dates were good. It’s absolutely absurd to have any quality control issues with prices this high.

Good morning, I have been thinking about this for last 3 weeks. About 3 weeks ago, a store, the store at SW119th & S. Penn in Oklahoma City, had the new manager (will not mention names but you know who she is) fire a 7–8-year employee who had worked himself into management and did everything ever asked of him. You needed a manager to cover another store for a couple of months, he was there, Stay overnight for new freezer installs, yep, was him. Close 4 of the 5 days he worked so none of your other managers had to close, him again. Person, I speak of between your store and others, had close to 20 years in grocery business. This person developed cancer in his lower body a few years back, he would go for treatment and still come to work even though he was tired and might not feel great. He did this time and time again. Step up to early 2025 I think (not sure when got new manager). He had taken couple weeks off for vacation (had earned it). Tried take more time off (again, he had it) but was told couldn't because had already taken off 2 weeks. When he would schedule his sick leave to go do his treatments, said manager would take his sick leave away and make him use a regular day off. This happened over and over again. Step back 3 weeks ago. He was again feeling bad, not able to eat anything, vomiting off and on again and yet, he still came to work. Closed one night when not feeling well and apparently left and employee, not as customer, but an employee in the store (something that has been told has happened a few times in the past). So, what's your manager's decision, let's fire the 8 years, has worked his tail off for us anytime he was asked. Excellent management skills might add. So, what was his illness you ask? His cancer has come back but this time, it's in his brain, but don't worry, you can sleep good at night knowing that in your eyes, you did that right thing. Want to know who I am, I'm his father and the person I speak of is Chris. I'd love to tell the other employees in the store (the ones who loved and respected my son) who you truly are.

I used to shop at Sprouts 3 or 4 times a week. It was my main grocery store for it's selection of quality meats and fresh produce at reasonable prices. But the store has remade itself into a high-priced, low-quality "organic" store. Most of the produce is now organic, which is 2 to 3 times the price of the supermarkets, and often of questionable freshness and quality. The once hand-cut fresh meat is now 80% processed meats, soaking for God knows how long in sugary marinades. And their prices have tripled or worse throughout the store. $18 lb. for bulk bin trail mix? $19 lb for coffee? I used to come here for fresh ingredients to prepare healthy meals at home, but I walk away empty handed whenever I go into the store now. I don't even know what this store is trying to be anymore, but they've definitely lost my business.

Just left the store in frustration just now.The prices continue to climb upwards. The coffee prices are out of control along with all meats and seafood. I don't buy their seafood. It tastes salty like sitting stored in salty brine. The bread is frozen over and over thawed. This bread crumbles as I attempt to make a sandwich. I struggle going to the restroom and see males dressed as females in the women's restroom. One constantly wears a mask at the register. The bulk bins shocked me as the prices jumped out of control. The prepared roasted chickens at 7 pm were plum full sitting in plastic bags heated under lights. Sliced meats and cheese wat too pricey. I don't shop there anymore. I went in to check it out and frustration ensued. I am not a fan of the corporations that hold the majority of stocks such as Blackrock and The ilk. Before 2020 the bulk coffee was 7.99 and now 19.99 as the gas prices continue to drop. Customers being taken advantage of. The sale prices are not sales at all. They lost my business for good. I can't locate my previous review from months ago. Bye Bye.

Sprouts is such a deep disappointment. The staff is the best part of the store. The prices are ridiculously high. In my experience, in many cases they are over two dollars more per product than in any other store. Their strategy is to get you into the store with a sale price and then have you buy the rest of your list at prices that are damn near fraudulently excessive. It is a classic bait and switch.

I'd like to share my opinion with these fraudsters but i'll leave them to do their business. Please stop spraying chemicals on your produce.

I haven't been to sprouts in a while because of the way they treated people during COVID. (Yeah It's been a few years). I happen to be in the area while I was shopping and stopped by... Prices are high The store was empty and I have not seen somebody triple masked and wearing plexiglass on their face in years like I did with the checkout girl. Then I go up the road to Trader Joe's and it's packed.
Sprouts is doing something very wrong and honestly they deserve to go out of business which is inevitably in their future.
On the bright side, they didn't call the police on me for refusing to put on the muzzle (this time). Thanks Sprouts! And keep trusting that science! Lol

Placed a pickup from store order. Received rotten items and replacements that i did not approve and were not even close to what I ordered. Was told that I had to keep these wrong and rotten items and go through the app to get refunded. Wouldn't even let me swap them out. Have to wait 5 to 10 business days to get my refund. Nice one. Will never shop there again

Terrible exp[eriences with their use of Instacart for delivery. They use delivery people who c ommunicate both written and verbal ONLY IN SPANISH. Not the person's failing but it is Instacart repeatedly screwing up delivery because they don't succeed in delivering because they can't read instructions or communicate with the purchaser. Sprouts needs to find another method and dump Instacart.

Prices seemed quite high for the quality.
Their weekly ad is the worst of any supermarket, hard to find things and very tricky: buy one get second half off…Only trouble is “what does one cost?”
Store in Carlsbad was clean. Asked ware at find bulk spices, I was told “oh there over there. Took me a few more minutes to find them. Can’t see myself going back.

Deli Department (Longview,TX)

I would strongly advise customers to avoid Sprouts Farmers Market’s deli and “grab n go” section. It is not a safe or sanitary choice.

The deli production process is deeply concerning. Food regularly sits out for hours during production before it is ever moved to refrigeration. After sitting at unsafe temperatures, these items are then placed directly onto the shelves for customers to “grab n go” as if they were freshly and safely prepared.

Expiration dates are also misleading and improperly labeled. Products such as soups, sauces, ready-to-cook meals (including Kevin’s meals), pizzas, Panera Bread items, quiches, and egg bites are given dates that do not reflect how long they were already sitting out prior to refrigeration. Customers are not being given accurate information about freshness or food safety.

The grab n go shelves themselves are not cleaned or properly maintained. In fact, many of these shelves have not been thoroughly cleaned since the store opened. This alone should be alarming.

Items such as sandwiches, wraps, salads, full meals, parfaits, snack boxes, and even rotisserie chickens are all extremely questionable choices for your health. As someone who worked behind the scenes, I would never purchase or consume these products.

The deli department does not follow Sprouts’ own health and production regulations, despite what the company advertises. Customers are led to believe they’re buying fresh, healthy food, when in reality, basic food safety standards are ignored.

If you care about your health, skip the deli entirely.

I recently shopped in the store at Tatum and Cactus Rd. I self checked out. I was charged 5 (five) times for my apple purchase. I complained. A cashier fixed it and did not apologize.
Few days later I shopped with my sister and bought for over $200.00 of groceries. The day after, after reviewing the receipt, we found out 2 items had been doubled charged for a total of almost $80.00!!!. We went back to the store and asked to talk to a manager. An employee named Justin refused to comply and said "were you overcharged?". He seemed to be familiar with clients' complaints about overcharging. He directed us to a cashier who did not ask any question but said "what do you need to be refunded?"
Besides having outrageously high prices for many items, they apparently commonly overcharge.

The prices are good for the quality of the food.

I like the Sprouts in Cape Coral, Fl employees are very nice and helpful and it smells fantastic there, like fresh fruits and herbs. What I want to know is why you changed your Manager Jace and the assistant manager they were very nice and great in running this store. The new manager or assistant manager, i got to witness fighting with one of his employees out in the open and acting superior to her when she was actually only trying to make a point to him. Very wrong! Sprouts needs to keep what works and not change. I liked the other manager and other assistant manager better. I say bring them back!

will try to share the screenshot here to support what I am saying . Just got back from this store. Went there to get a Turkey for Thanksgiving after getting a text from this organization that I would get 5$ off once my meat purchases were above 25 $ .
Choose my Turkey and got to the register when the dral didn't ring up I called the supervisor. At first a very haughty blonde woman approached and called over Eric. I showed him the text and he goes the company never text any specials . He then said I couldn't get the 5$ off .
I returned the Turkey
Eric didn't even have the decency to take the Turkey back to the refrigerator . I had to do that myself as I would not like that the customer buying that Turkey to get a bad Turkey. So I didn't leave on the self checkout counter.
This phone number that I receive text messages from I sent a Y to authorize getting text from them in 2022.
I would say that they are a scam after this .
They even have fresh herbs on the supermarket floor going bad .
Have a happy Thanksgiving Eric and haughty blonde woman
This happened at their Dania Beach Florida location.

I go to the sprouts on route 27, woodbridge maybe. The reasons I went there are just not seen, no bulk items, tiny fruit and vegetable section. I find the worst offense is they have deals (buy one get one 50% off for example) but if you are not super vigilant you will not notice the deal expired, up to a week or more, they won't tell you.. They are hoping you don't notice and pay full price, very deceptive practice. I have a $10 off coming up but I will let go because I would never go back. Oh, and multi vitamins $55, what?

Do NOT shop Sprouts!! It's not enough that you buy all their overpriced food, they have to charge you again for a bag to put it in to take it home. DONE! I told the cashier we don't need a bag we can carry it, but my autistic son started putting a couple of things in a bag before I could stop him, so she charged a bag fee anyway. Of course you did. Never again, Sprouts. Trader Joe's kindly gives me a bag, and their prices are better.

Been coming here since they opened two years ago, so I know this store very well.

While their private-label products are low-quality, specifically what they sell under their own name, Sprouts, other products such as dairy are the highest quality I've found anywhere, including Whole Foods. I am giving them a 5-star rating because their strength lies with their employees and the way their managers train them. Their sub-managers and managers run a tight ship, to say the least. When a product doesn't move, they discount it heavily. They are doing a huge turnover and cannot get goods back on the shelves fast enough. Their employees care very much about relationships with their customers. They are the friendliest crews I've seen in any supermarket chain, and give the best advice and recommendations in the business. I am writing this about the location in Delray Beach, FL, only, and have not experienced service in other locations, yet, to comment. Corporate should take a good, hard look at this location to see how a store should be run. There is a HUGE amount of work and moving parts involved in keeping a place with this kind of traffic spotless and well-stocked, but they do it extremely well.
