A new Sprouts Farmers Market is opening in South Jersey this summer
The chain also has a store under construction in Limerick, and recently signed a lease for a never-opened Amazon Fresh in Havertown.
Another Sprouts Farmers Market is coming soon to South Jersey.
The Sprouts in Washington Township is set to open Aug. 28, the company announced Tuesday in a statement.
The 23,000-square-foot organic grocery store is under construction on Egg Harbor Road in Sewell, with an attached 6,400-square-foot storefront for lease, according to marketing materials for the new development.
Sprouts plans to bring on about 90 full- and part-time employees, with hiring events scheduled next week for Tuesday and Wednesday at the Double Tree by Hilton in Cherry Hill.
The Washington Township location will be the Phoenix-based chain’s fourth in South Jersey. The grocer, which specializes in organic, gluten-free, and plant-based products, also has stores in Haddon Township, Marlton, and West Deptford.
Across the river, the company operates four Philadelphia locations, including Roosevelt Mall in the Northeast and the new Rivermark complex in Northern Liberties, as well as two Montgomery County stores in Upper Dublin and Montgomeryville.

The chain has a location under construction in Limerick, and recently signed a lease for the never-opened Amazon Fresh in Havertown, with a Sprouts opening expected early next year.
While some other chain grocery stores have closed locally, and some consumers have cut back due to higher prices, Sprouts is expanding, with a goal to open 40 stores nationwide by the end of 2026, according to a recent earnings report.
Sprouts executives said on the earnings call that they are also taking steps to improve affordability, including store promotions like $5 Sushi Wednesday and price reductions on increasingly expensive items like coffee.
