Sprouts Farmers Market in Queen Creek celebrates grand opening all weekend

🛒 Sprouts Farmers Market will open its newest Valley store at 7 a.m. Friday on the northwest corner of Gantzel and Combs in Queen Creek.

Grand opening: Friday through Sunday, a “pop-up party” out front will give guests the chance to taste seasonal produce from “fruit school,” play games, get their face painted, watch artists carve large produce, and more.

• The first 200 shoppers Friday and Saturday will receive a free ‘‘Goodness it’s Free’’ reusable goodie bag filled with special products and samples.
• Inside the store, shoppers can taste new products while they shop from innovative brands at the Vendor Village. A special “guess the weight” contest of an oversized piece of produce will take place.
• Beginning at noon Sunday, dog lovers will be gifted dog treats from Bundle X Joy and kids will enjoy a reusable coloring tote activity. Plus, music and prize giveaways throughout the weekend.
• Customers who text “VALLEY” to 777-688 will receive 20% off their purchase over the grand-opening weekend when they scan their app account barcode at checkout (up to two redemptions per Sprouts account per day).

Hours: 7 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.
