Carlsbad is set to get its third Sprouts Farmers Market location with the Jan. 16 opening of the chain’s newest store in Bressi Ranch, the grocer recently announced.

A ribbon-cutting is scheduled at the 28,000-square-foot store, located at 2634 Gateway Road, just before doors open at 7 a.m., according to a Sprouts news release.

First-day customers can take advantage of grand opening perks:

The first 200 shoppers will receive 20 percent off their initial total purchase.
Muffin and coffee samples will be served to everyone in line before the opening.
All customers on grand opening day will receive a free reusable bag with purchase.

In addition to the grand opening, weekend shoppers are invited to a Taste of Sprouts event Jan. 19, during which customers can discover and sample trending items and Sprouts Brand products.

As part of its stock, the store will offer locally made products from brands such as Better Booch, Groundwork Coffee, Pacific Pickle Works and San Diego Soy Dairy.

The new store is also part of the grocer’s “zero waste” commitment, the company stated. Unsold edible items will be donated to Feeding San Diego through the company’s Food Rescue program.

In addition to the new Bressi Ranch store, other Sprouts locations in Carlsbad are 3243 Camino De Los Coches and 2618 El Camino Real. Other local Sprouts stores include 1327 Encinitas Blvd. in Encinitas and 659 Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach.
