This is my neighborhood Sprouts. The one time manager of this store used to live downstairs from me and I had no clue what he did for a living until long after he accepted a position with another company. After I found out what he did I mentioned I had only been in 2 Sprouts and had liked the produce in the first one I went to (83rd and T-Bird) but when the new one opened at 51st and Peoria, on my way home, I had been disappointed in the quality of the produce and had never gone back. He explained you do not want to buy meat and produce from a place that does not have lines at the register because they do not turn the inventory fast enough. He suggested I go a little out of my way and try his old store which does a much higher volume. If I am in the area I will also still stop by 83rd and T-Bird as they do even more volume. Some of their stuff is a little high priced but for price shopping I go to Wal-mart or Costco.
So what do I like to buy there? Produce, pork brats, fish (Friday I got swordfish), several times a year they have buffalo, chocolate covered raisins (I really have to watch myself). They have Muir Glen ketchup (no corn syrup and great taste). I have tried some of their breads and chips and not been impressed.
I do not go often but I am glad I took my neighbor's advice and tried them again. And I have never had more than 3 people in front of me in line.
