Sprouts Farmers Market

Inconsistent food quality and freshness: seafood, meat, deli and produce. Have had to return spoiled product numerous times.

This place is terrible. I’ve given it many chances. Produce is subpar, the butcher is terrible and will tell you outright, I don’t have time to cut that meat for you. What? Go to the Lenexa one. This place needs some new management

I’m usually first to pipe up and say Sprouts is an awesome grocery store… definitely my go to for fresh fruits and veggies! However this location is awful. I’ve given it four solid chances and each time kicked myself for trying it again.
This location is smaller, the parking lot is usually a zoo, and the produce always appears not as fresh. I’ve also noticed the population that generally shops here is very rude. I’m not talking just one person, but several occurrences. Ramming into your basket, cutting you off, yelling in the store, eating food off the shelves!?! Uh, manners anyone? I kid you not… today two parents stood next to a young boy while he touched all the loafs of bread, picked one up, dropped it on the floor… then the dad placed it back in the bread basket… yuck!

Has anyone experienced a rubbery texture with the Spouts chicken breasts? It has happened a few times and well, it’s gross. Also, on a different note, they’re always hiring, even a manager voluntarily stepped down to cashier. Interesting.

Love this place, I go on Wednesday for the double ad deals. When I am at the check out I can not believe the low price I am paying for so many fresh fruits and vegetables!

Love that there is a sprouts in KS. But no one is coming back with those lines. There are 50 people in line with three registers open. Get a system like whole foods or risk losing clientele.

So so place. Not the best location. Not the best managed store around. Not the strongest work ethic among employees. Good deals at times. Somewhat scary parking lot. Some issues are out of the control of the store, but exist nonetheless.

I absolutely love this place. The workers and customers are friendly. They make you feel welcome. The prices are something to appreciate, fresh produce. Samples I am all about samples. Very clean store. It’s my upgraded Trader Joe.

Negative customer service experience in the deli department. With several employees behind the counter, it took forever for someone to offer to help me. It’s not like I can go behind the counter and slice my own deli meats? After waiting forever, the clerk seemed mad that I was ordering 4 meats (1lb each) and 3 cheeses (1lb each) as if it was a huge burden.
I spent $ 244 on groceries and the cashier at check out seemed annoyed that I redeemed 3 manufacturers coupons and 6 in store (sprouts) coupons. Again, as if it was a nuisance.
With so many other similar stores in the area, I’ll be glad to take my business where the customer is actually appreciated.

I must sing the song of my people, and my song is «I love Sprouts». The fruit and veggies look fake, they are so fresh and perfect. And I don’t know why people say their prices are «high». Yes organic things are more expensive, but I pay less than Walmart for the same items. The meat counter is amazing, boneless skinless chicken is $ 1.88/pound. That can’t be beat. The employees are extremely friendly. This store is smaller than the one in Lenexa and Lawrence, and can get super crowded on weekends. However it is worth it. The quality cannot be beat. I am a massive fan.

So this place isn’t as large as I thought it would be — selection is decent, especially if you’re looking for stuff not sold at a regular store. Prices are about what I expected them to be, on the high side. They do have a great nut/​candy aisle (LOVE their gummy bears) — they do have an amazing selection of Amy’s products, which pleases me, since I feel like those are getting harder and harder to find. Ill be back, but probably just for a few choice items, not actual grocery shopping. I do look forward to checking out their meat counter more next time, it looked amazing.

I like this store. It’s size is not overwhelming and it is easy to find what I need. While they carry a lot of organic items, not everything is organic, and I like to buy organic when I am able. Their bulk foods is fabulous. And what I can’t find in the bulk foods area I am able to get in a package from a company I like to buy from. Their produce is fresh and appealing. Although I wish they would carry okra, but I do realize they don’t well much to KC folks. I will continue to shop this store as they carry what I need to live a healthy lifestyle.

I’ve heard all the hype about this place, and have now been a few times. I was honestly a bit disappointed at the LACK of availability of natural items.
At one point I was able to get organic sauerkraut — but they discontinued it. They have NEVER had okra. Their organic selection is spotty. When I look for almond milk, the selection is iffy.
The seafood is nice, but limited. Actually, everything seems limited. The prices are good, but this is definitely not even close to a «one stop location» — nor did I expect it to be. But it isn’t even quite a «get your specialty items here» location — just not enough «there, there».

I love and hate this place but I have this relationship with every grocery stores. There are things I buy here and will only go in to get those items. The store never have everything I want. That is why I also hate this store. See my below reviews.
Store layout:
The store is smaller than other grocery stores. However, I do like the layout. Easily getting to places. All the necessary produces are store in the nice spraying stations. HOWEVER, this is more a complain. I hate going there when it is busy. All the row width can only fit 2 carts at the time. Don’t go there on peak times, go weekends after 3. Weekdays anytime.
Deli area:
I dislike the customer service of this area. The clerks are not helpful and always doing something else. The prices are not competitive. Ill shop else wear relating to deli.
Meat area:
I love the butcher guys, they are always friendly. If they are out of something, just ask them. They will bring it out. However, check the dates on some meat package. They don’t always take away the expire packages or almost expire packages.
Produce area:
It is always fresh and many variety but just 2 small complaints. First, sometimes they run out of stuff towards the end of the day. I hate that, you are a grocery store. Keep good inventory. Two, sometimes sale products quality changes. For example, cantaloupes were 99cents from diameter of 8 inches to 4 inches towards the end of the deal period. That may just me being critical: D. The organic section has great selections and affordable prices too. When I want to be fancy, the prices doesn’t break the bank.
Customer service/​weekly deals:
This is the reason I give this place 5 stars! I love love love love everyone but the deli section people. They always make me feel taken care of. They don’t mind if I bag my own groceries cause they take too long (they appreciate it). I lovvvvvve the weekly deals, affordable, and fresh. Overall, I will revisit this place again and again for the customer service, great deals, and great produce.

Sprouts is my new favorite grocery store! It’s a great place to get the types of foods you find at health food markets like Whole Foods, but also not empty your entire wallet in the process. I’ve been trying to eat more organic unprocessed foods lately, but it was starting to get really expensive because I kept going to places like Whole Foods, The Fresh Market (well just once — never doing that again) and the health foods sections of Hy-​Vee/​Price Chopper. Sprouts may not be as big as Whole Foods and thus naturally has less of a variety of options, but it still meets my needs perfectly. I would say it’s comparable to Trader Joe’s. The bulk section and produce section are my favorites, and so affordable! (I got blackberries for 99 cents!!)
Last time I came here I munched on one of their pistachio muffins while I shopped, and it was phenomenal.

Their produce is the best. Where else can you buy 2 cantaloupes for $ 1.00. The fish is fresh and always plentiful especially the salmon. Love their bakery muffins 4@$ 2.99. Many flavors to choose from just wish they would bring back the corn muffins.
Only objection I have is they seem to raise the prices on the frozen products when they offer a «sale».
You can find yogurts, ice cream and Vans waffles lower in price everyday at local grocery stores.
All in all good go to place for produce, fish and bakery.

Try out the dark chocolate honeycomb — delicious!

It’s a nice niche. We love their vegetable selection.
Prices on some things are very competitive others not so much, like any store really.
We bought 40 pounds of oranges for $ 8 not too long ago. Some would wonder what anyone would do with so much but we aren’t reviewing me here. :-)
They have plenty of nuts and treats sold by weight (pound I think). Some of it very much a specialty that I don’t recall having seen anywhere else. No, I have not bought pounds worth of anything else except those oranges.
The store is always organized and presentation is definitely noticeable.
Checkout can be slightly slow at times since it’s not always a simple barcode scan but maybe we all need a «LITTLE» more patience. How about another reason to get on our phones while we wait? :-)

Sprouts should be my new favorite store among other health food/​organic options in JoCo. Unfortunately, I’ve been grossly disappointed with my visits so far.
First up, the crowds. My star rating is not affected by the people here but they play a vital role in the experience. My last visit here might as well have been the night before a 24 inch blizzard. The amount of people here, the size of the checkout lines, and the general rudeness of the customers was astonishing. Sprouts had been open for a couple weeks at the time of this visit and the initial sheen associated with the opening had surely worn off. I couldn’t believe how many people pushing past me or bumping carts to get a shelf of their choice. The arrangement of the store doesn’t help the crippling crowds maneuvering through the aisles.
Secondly, the prices are not as good as I expected. You’d expect to pay a little more at a store like Sprouts, Whole Foods, or Fresh Market. I compared «apples to apples» prices on some free range chicken broth. Fresh Market, about 2 miles up the road, actually had the exact same item for two dollars less than Sprouts — not on sale either.
Finally, the store itself is similar to an Aldi setup. Small store, product crammed into the small space, and a maze of aisles and product selections. Many stores are like this now including Trader Joes, but for some reason Sprouts is disjointed in this regard.
I’ll give it another shot sometime soon, but in the meantime, I’ll continue to drive up the street to Fresh Market or stay closer to home and hit up Whole Foods or Trader Joes if I need any specialized items.

Yes it seems likes these types of grocery stores are «sprouting» up every where lately. That makes me happy because it gives consumers options and brings competition to the market.
Sprouts reminded me of the Fresh Market, just down the street, the look and feel was very similar. While they can’t compete with the variety and large inventory that Whole Foods offers, they are a good option for this market.
They have their own private label that they are quite proud of, so much that an employee offered me a free product just to try their brand. I do believe they have the same 100% guarantee where if you aren’t satisfied after trying it then you can return the product.
The bulk section has a good selection of organic items, plus they had things like bulk protein powder, sea salt, sugar, chia seeds, and nutritional yeast. I had not seen those items in bulk any where else.
Their first week they had great prices, it’ll be interesting to see if those remain. I think this place is certainly worth a visit. I know I’ll be back again because I couldn’t soak it all in at once.
