Sprouts Farmers Market, a rapidly-expanding organic grocery store chain, is expanding to White Flint. The supermarket has leased a space at 5296 Randolph Road at Loehmann's Plaza.

Sprouts Farmers Market opening in White Flint

You say Flint, I say Flint. It's Flint. Sprouts Market is incredible. That's a dog of a shopping center and is at least 50 years old. But this will brighten it up big time. Do your research. Sprouts is amazing. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteOpen one in Downtown Bethesda. I wish we had gotten this instead of Lidl.
ReplyDeleteI'll second that!
DeleteI've never been to Sprouts but I doubt you'll be able to buy some new polo shirts, pajamas, an air fryer, a new lamp for your apartment or exercise equipment like you can at Lidl :)
DeleteIf wishes were horses, then beggars would ride. Why don't you open up a grocery store?
Delete@7:23 PM: You must really love that Lidl to defend it. Sprouts would have been so much better there. A Mom's Organic would have also been better.
Delete"beloved Lakeforest Mall', really? What happened to the tattered phrase :moribund"? Surely you weren't in love with it.
ReplyDeleteI wish them the best, but that location is not really good. If Safeway couldn't make a go of it, I have my doubts.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what is happening where Amazon Fresh used to be in Friendship Heights? Any idea why the Kneads Bakeshop is delayed (5400 Wisconsin Avenue, where Peet's Coffee used to be in Friendship Heights)?
ReplyDeleteThe lease agreement for the Collection at Chevy Chase shopping center requires that a full service grocery store occupy the former Amazon Fresh space. The Kneads Bakeshop was scheduled to open the 2nd quarter of 2026 but as of last week there was no construction activity.
DeleteMuch better for the Amazon Fresh location would be a CVS
