ST. CLAIR SHORES, MI — Sprouts Farmers Market is planning to open its first-ever Michigan store in Macomb County, according to officials.
The new grocery store will occupy one half of a building at 22332 Nine Mile Road in St. Clair Shores, officials said.
Officials did not announce an opening date, but said they expect renovations to begin next year. Planet Fitness occupies the other half of the building.
The building is the former site of a Kroger, which was originally planned to become an Amazon Fresh store. However, Amazon never announced plans for that location.
Sprouts focuses on fresh produce, natural and organic products and other specialty foods.
"Sprouts provides fresh food at a lower price point than competing grocers (i.e. Whole Foods, Trader Joes, etc.) while also stocking plenty of non-perishables," city officials wrote in a Facebook post.
The chain operates more than 400 stores in 25 states with its highest concentration in California, according to its website.
