Popular Organic Grocery Store Planned For Westport: Report

WESTPORT, CT — Spouts Farmers Market, the popular grocery store chain that specializes in organic foods, is planning to open its first Connecticut location in Westport, CT Insider reported.

The grocer has reportedly applied to build a 25,000-square-footstore at 1460 Post Road East, where a Pier 1 Imports store once stood, and now holds a BevMax store and Julian's Pizza Bar & Kitchen.

Those two businesses and a wellness facility would be moved under the proposal for the new Sprouts store.

Westport is losing a similar type of grocery store this month with the closing of Balducci's.

Sprouts has hundreds of stores in two-dozen states, and last month, the chain opened its first New York location in Centereach.

In the Northeast, besides the one New York store, it also has five stores in New Jersey, but the chain is reportedly planning to add more stores in Connecticut, in addition to Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
