At Sprouts, we believe transparency about matters of health and safety is critical. When we learn of a confirmed or suspected case in our stores we follow CDC guidelines, inform other team members that may have come into close contact with the affected team member and ask that they self-quarantine, and work with local health departments to determine additional appropriate measures. We also conduct extensive cleaning and sanitizing of the entire store to minimize any risk of surface transmission. Our cleaning crews use EPA approved disinfectants effective against a variety of bacteria and viruses, including Human Coronavirus, SARS associated Coronavirus, and more.

We’re so grateful for our dedicated team members that are committed to serving our communities, day in and day out. We have never stopped caring for our team members, and in 2020 we paid our store teams more than $100 million in bonuses; invested more than $12 million in COVID protective measures including plexiglass partitions, PPE, enhanced cleaning, wellness kits, and store security; and we created a disaster relief fund for paid time off and grants totaling more than $12 million in financial support.

In order to best serve the California residents, our stores will continue to operate with regular hours from 7am-10pm daily to support the community. Effective Tuesday, March 24, we will be open from 7am-8pm daily. Our team members are committed to providing you and your family with affordable fresh and healthy groceries along with wellness essentials to support your health and wellbeing during these uncertain times.

Some customers have asked about special shopping hours for elderly guests. We’re dedicated to serving our customers during this unprecedented time and have given a great deal of consideration to this matter. Special shopping hours can result in long entry lines and crowding, which conflicts with social distancing recommendations for the elderly and at-risk groups. To best serve everyone in our communities, we’ve invested in more staffing to maintain our focus on customer service and to provide a clean and safe shopping environment. We’re also implementing new checkout measures that encourage customers to maintain a healthy distance from one another, and also installing plexiglas barriers to reduce contact with team members.

The health and safety of guests like you, and our dedicated teams that serve you, remains our priority. We are closely following health authority guidelines and are regularly providing our store teams the latest safety guidance. In addition to our regular food safety and cleaning procedures, we have invested additional labor hours into our stores to allow for more frequent cleaning, paying close attention to high touch areas such as service counters, restrooms, and checkout lanes. Stores have also installed plexiglass register barriers for added protection during checkout.

We’re committed to offering you access to the healthy foods you rely on us for during this unprecedented time. Our local teams are working hard to keep our stores stocked by working closely with our distribution center and supply chain partners to ensure regular deliveries. We’re confident in our continued supply and ask you to be mindful of your neighbors when making purchases on your next visit. We will continue to offer delivery and pickup services where applicable through Instacart.
