A ribbon cutting will take place Friday morning at 6:45 a.m. The doors to the store will open at 7 a.m.

"I am pleased to announce the arrival of Sprouts Farmers Market to the Town of Middletown.

Branner Jr. "The Town of Middletown continues to grow and attract businesses that enhance the quality of life for our residents and visitors, and Sprouts Farmers Market is a welcome addition to our town."

Grand Opening Weekend Events:

From Friday, December 6 through Sunday, December 8, a variety of activities will celebrate the grand opening. A "pop-up party" out front will give guests the chance to taste seasonal produce from the tasting bar, participate in a "guess the weight" contest of an oversized piece of produce and more. These activities are fun for the whole family and will last all weekend long.

Shoppers who text "TOWN" to 777-688 can receive 20% off their purchase over the grand opening weekend when they scan their app account barcode at checkout; up to two redemptions per Sprouts account per day. Shoppers can also view Sprouts' weekly ad and save more than $100 with digital coupons on grocery staples and new items every month in the app. Customers will also have the chance to win a $500 Sprouts gift card up until midnight on December 8 when they sign up via this store page on Sprouts' website.

Sprouts Farmers Market is invested in serving the communities where it operates. It works with local Delaware farmers such as Fifer Orchards and JIM Rash Watermelons to source local produce.

Through Sprouts' Food Rescue program this store will donate groceries that are no longer fit for sale but remain perfectly edible and nutrient rich to Food Bank of Delaware.

This location will be open daily from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m. For more information and to sign up to win the pre-opening gift card, visit https://www.sprouts.com/middletown.
