Sprouts

having that sign doesn't break any law .. and would not be a reason for them to be sued

[Larry OKC]

Seems like false advertising to me...saying you have something for sale that you don't. Folks file silly lawsuits all the time and sometimes win.

Is this still happening since Sunflower was bought by Sprouts? Used to drive by and saw activity inside and out but about the time Sprouts announced the Sunflower buy everything stopped. Same stuff in the entrance still there for several months now. Big dumpster gone. No people around it at all now.

According to the Sprouts website they are still coming. OKLAHOMA - Norman (Coming Soon!) in Norman, OK - Sprouts Farmers Market

Thanks for the link. Just curious since everything just stopped.

The Norman Sprouts fb link (http://www.facebook.com/SproutsNorman?fref=ts) announced they are having their Grand Opening on March 27th. Pretty excited!

That's excellent. The one here in Edmond is doing really good and I suspect they will do even better in Norman. Is this the first one ever built there?

I expect it to do well here in Norman as well. I know I plan on shifting all my shopping away from homeland to sprouts if it is anything like the other sprouts I have visited.

Sprout's opened this morning. Wow! Great selection, and the prices were much more reasonable than I anticipated. I think the quality of the store in conjunction with being next door to the Cellar will be wonderful for Central Norman.

Wife tried to go there around 1:00 this afternoon. She said lines of cars trying to get into parking lot. Main street mostly a parking lot. Crowds and crowds of folks. We might try closer to closing. Shopped a lot at the Sprouts on N. May. Love their produce and meat counter.

I work nearby and watched the flow of cars from my office window. I was amazed at the number of people who showed up today. Our parking lot was overrun with Sprouts customers, and shopping carts. I decided not to fight the crowds today, but I hope to walk over and check it out tomorrow!

Was crazy packed when I went around 6:30PM but totally worth it. I hope I can afford to shop there regularly (some things seemed to be amazing deals, like the produce, while other things like pasta seem expensive for my budget). It was crazy obvious to me walking around in there how much of a desire there was for something like this in Norman.

Went in last night around 9. It was still busy, but not packed. Great store, much larger than I was expecting and very good selections all around. Will be my go to for groceries from now on.

Great selection and some really neat specialty items, but Natural Grocers is cheaper. Most of it was mexican produce, same as you'd find anywhere. My bell pepper had some mold in it. I'd like to see this place be successful, I'll probably shop there on Wednesdays when they have their double ad sales, it will be interesting to see how it works out in the long run.

OK I know that sometimes I'm Capt. Oblivious but did Sunflower on 63rd and may become Sprouts Farmers Market? I was looking up Farmers Markets to go to and saw Sprouts and thought Sunflower was at that location.


Edit: I just looked at the Whole Foods thread and saw Sunflower was gone. My next question is what happened to it and is Sprouts any good?

[RadicalModerate]

Sunflower changed to Sprouts a long time ago. I think only the name changed.

[Pete]

Sprouts bought Sunflower last year and has been converting all the stores to the Sprouts name.

Very, very similar concept and not much has changed with the old Sunflower locations other than the name.

[kelroy55]

Thanks for the info.... I need to pay more attention to what's happening around town.

I haven't been inside since the change, but I thought that people soured on Sprouts. Supposedly changed some things up. I thought there was a thread on that actually...?

[kelroy55]

There probably is, I just didn't look very hard.

Allthough I do most of my basic grocery shopping at the Buy For Less within walking distance (but not grocery carrying or carting distance) or the good Homeland at May and Britton if I find myself down around Sunflower/Sprouts I like to stop in. They have the best ciabatta bread at a resonable price and other good stuff too. Plus the prices are far more . . . reasonable than Whole Foods.

I started this because my Dr. strongly suggested I get rid of the unhealthy eating habits and start eating more fruits and veggies. I have no problem with that since I like both but breaking the Whataburger and KFC habit was going to hurt a little. I do a lot of smoking so I started smoking healthier stuff and wanted to hit a Farmers Market or two for some fruits and veggies.
