Santa Maria residents will soon have a new grocery store option. Signs have gone up for the new Sprouts at 2170 Bradley Road in the Crossroads at Santa Maria center near the Walmart store. The company’s website saud Sprouts offers affordable, fresh, natural and organic products. Sprouts now has more than 380 locations since first opening in 2002 with other locations locally in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara. No word on when the Santa Maria store will open or when hiring will get underway.
