At least we all agree about Sprouts...veteran+ wrote: ↑January 1st, 2024, 8:45 amYep, that's been my experience!marketreportblog wrote: ↑December 31st, 2023, 6:30 pm Coming back to this thread to mention I shopped at a Sprouts for the first time in years today and I was really surprised how bad it was. I’m in Denver, CO visiting family and we’ve been mostly shopping at Safeway but stopped in a Sprouts we were driving by. The bakery was particularly pathetic — at least from what I saw, Safeway’s bakery was way better. Sprouts didn’t even have cakes, as far as I could tell? Just a few squares of really sad-looking vanilla frosted vanilla cake. The muffins were weirdly puffy and light and Safeway’s were much better. And all the prices were $0.50 or so higher than Safeway. Most interesting, though, was that the organic grocery items were labeled with price tags featuring an italic O in an oval with the word ORGANIC under it in such a design that it could easily be mistaken for O Organics at a glance. Anyone else seen that? And does that all sound consistent with Sprouts elsewhere?
Yet on Google Reviews for various Sprouts (in my area and elsewhere) I keep seeing 5 star reviews. The reviews seem to follow similar themes so I am not sure what is up with that.
