Sprouts Farmers Market opened the doors to its new Sahuarita store Wednesday.

The 30,000-square-foot store, at 18755 S. Nogales Highway, is the sixth Sprouts Farmers Market in the Tucson area.

The first 200 shoppers in line received 20 percent off their purchase and, at checkout, every 15th shopper was given a Sprouts coupon book.

Every customer also received a free reusable bag with purchase.

Grand-opening deals will continue through the weekend, including the first 200 customers on Saturday, March 3, receiving coupon books for five free deli items, and on Sunday, March 4, every 15th customer checking out will receive a coupon for $5 off a purchase of more than $15 to use on their next visit.

As part of Sprouts’ commitment to β€œzero waste,” the new Sahuarita Sprouts will donate unsold and edible groceries to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona through the grocer’s Food Rescue program.

Food that is not fit for donation is provided to cattle farms and composting facilities.

Headquartered in Phoenix, Sprouts employs more than 27,000 team members and operates nearly 300 stores in 15 states.
