Sprouts Farmers Market: A Bad Neighbor for Our Community
Sprouts Farmers Market likes to present itself as a responsible, community-focused grocer. But when you look closely at how the company expands into new communities, a very different picture emerges — one that should concern local residents, workers, and elected officials alike.
Sprouts’ Expansion Model Hurts Local Workers
Across multiple projects, Sprouts has relied on contractors that do not prioritize local hiring and that pay wages below established area standards. That choice has real consequences:
- Local tradespeople lose job opportunities
- Area wage standards are undermined
- Money that should circulate locally is pulled out of the community
Instead of creating good, family-sustaining jobs, Sprouts’ approach contributes to a race to the bottom that hurts working families and weakens local economies.
