Sprouts Farmers Market to open new far northwest San Antonio store
Sprouts has revealed plans for a new San Antonio store.
Natural grocery chain Sprouts Farmers Market is expanding its San Antonio footprint with a new store set to open in late 2026 at 13455 Culebra Rd. #118, according to a company rep. The Phoenix, Arizona-based grocer has been rapidly growing in Texas — challenging Texas brands like Whole Foods and Central Market on their home turf.
Sprouts operates more than 44 stores nationwide, but Texas is one of its strongholds. The chain has several Dallas-Fort Worth locations on deck for 2025 and have announced new storefronts in several suburban locations like Kyle, New Braunfels, and Bastrop.
The business started in California as a simple farm stand before growing into a chain of farmers’ markets and, later, a brick-and-mortar grocery. Throughout, it has kept its health food focus, delivering a wide assortment of organic produce, bulk foods, and vitamins and supplements at affordable prices.
That value proposition, and strong social media marketing, has helped it gain a foothold with customers aged 18 to 34. According to industry publication Supermarket News, the demographic makes one of Sprout’s fastest-growing customer bases.
The Culebra store will be the city’s fourth Sprouts location. The company first entered the Alamo City market with the 2011 acquisition of locally founded grocer Sun Harvest, taking over all three San Antonio stores. Since then, the company has shuttered some locations and opened new grocery stores in emerging neighborhoods.
Like the other national locations, local stores are committed to minimizing food waste through Sprouts’ Food Rescue program, an initiative to donate edible groceries that are no longer for sale. The chain partners with food insecurity nonprofit San Antonio Food Bank in its regional efforts.
Although Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation records are subject to change, the newly filed project details say construction will not begin until July 2026 with hopes of a December 2026 end date. A Sprouts rep echoed the estimation, saying the debut is slated for the “end of 2026.”
