Nichols Farms at Sprouts Farmers Market
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Nichols Farms is a fourth-generation family farm based in Hanford, California, specializing in organic pistachios.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
