Sprouts Farmers Market is set to roll into Clermont on Friday, March 6, opening a new store at 3420 S. U.S. Highway 27 and bringing its produce-focused, farmers-market-style setup to Lake County. The shop lands beside the Staybridge Suites and just up the hill from Chick-fil-A along the US-27 corridor. The debut comes with a full opening-weekend slate of events and early-bird freebies for shoppers, and it adds another natural-goods grocer to the mix for residents in southern Lake County.
Grand-Opening Weekend
Sprouts lists a grand-opening weekend running March 6-8, with a ribbon-cutting scheduled for 6:45 a.m. that Friday and doors opening at 7 a.m. The chain plans daily giveaways: the first 200 shoppers each day will get a free reusable tote, and the first 400 customers on Friday will receive a long-stem rose. The store is also lining up pop-up product sampling and an outdoor scavenger hunt, while promoting a limited-time Sprouts Rewards discount for shoppers who register and select Clermont as their store.
Hiring and Local Impact
South Lake Tablet reports the new Sprouts will bring roughly 82 full- and part-time positions, after the company held in-person hiring events in January at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando Sunset Walk. Roles range from cashiers and courtesy clerks to deli staff and department managers, according to the outlet. The store’s arrival is expected to boost foot traffic along the US-27 retail corridor and give nearby neighborhoods another option for organic and specialty groceries.
What Shoppers Should Know
Sprouts frames the Clermont store as part of its broader Florida expansion, emphasizing the chain’s produce-first approach and open-layout shopping experience. The company also highlights pickup and delivery choices for customers, along with Sprouts Rewards offers tied to opening-week deals. Shoppers planning to check out the new spot can visit the Sprouts site for store details and sign up for promotional alerts ahead of the March 6 debut.
