"Sprouts provides fresh food at a lower price point than competing grocers (i.e. Whole Foods, Trader Joes, etc.) while also stocking plenty of non-perishables," city officials wrote in a Facebook post.
The chain operates more than 400 stores in 25 states with its highest concentration in California, according to its website.
