The Victor Valley is about to get its first Sprouts Farmers Market.
Best known for offering fresh produce, meats and organic food, the new Sprouts will take over the 18,600-square-foot building that formerly housed Toys “R” Us on Amargosa Road in Victorville.
The former toy giant officially closed the Victorville location in June 2018 as the company shuttered its final 735 stores.
The building is located in a retail center, anchored by stores such as 99 Cents Only, Party City, Get Air and Hobby Lobby.
An Alcohol Beverage Control notice, posted on Dec. 21 on the building, names Sprouts Farmers Markets #469 as the tenant.
The Sprouts grocery chain boasts that it “appeals to everyday shoppers interested in fresh, natural and organic products at affordable prices.”
Stores offer The Butcher Shop and Fish Market and the fresh Market Corner Deli where entrees and sides are prepared
Sprouts also sells a variety of vitamins, supplements, bulk foods, dairy and bakery items. They also offer gluten-free options.
Headquartered in Phoenix, Sprouts is one of the largest and fastest-growing specialty retailers of fresh, natural and organic food in the U.S.
Sprouts employs approximately 31,000 team members and operates approximately 380 stores in 23 states nationwide.
The Victorville location is not hiring yet, but future employment opportunities with Sprouts can be found at about.sprouts.com/careers/.
