Austin's two Sun Harvest natural foods stores will soon become Sprouts Farmers Markets, meaning the Sprouts name soon will be on six Austin-area stores. Shoppers at the Sun Harvests on West Anderson Lane and South Lamar Boulevard will notice the name change by next month , said Sprouts President Doug Sanders. But Sanders said the company wants to ensure that other changes are gradual, noting that the Sun Harvest stores have built up loyal customer bases. While Sprouts will introduce its own private label products, it will also take time to understand its new customers, he said. "We're always very careful not to change too much, too fast," he said. Sprouts, an Arizona-based natural foods grocer that now has four Austin-area stores, merged with California-based Henry's Farmers Market, which operates the Sun Harvest stores, earlier this year. Apollo Group, the private equity firm that owns Henry's, earlier this year bought a majority stake in Sprouts. All of the former Henry's and Sun Harvest stores are being switched to the Sprouts name, which will give Sprouts more than 100 stores in California and the Southwest. The deal also establishes Sprouts as a bigger local competitor in the local natural foods space. Sanders said the company's growth plans call for 10 to 12 new stores a year, but he said there were no immediate plans for more Austin-area stores. Sprouts will open nine new stores this year, including one in Fort Worth and another in Carrollton in August. "Obviously Austin is very rich in natural foods customers, if you will, definitely a customer that values the healthy lifestyle (and) healthy diet," Sanders said. "It's definitely a good fit for Sprouts." But there is certainly local competition for that customer, he noted. Austin is the headquarters of natural foods giant Whole Foods, which plans to open two more area stores, starting with one due to open in Southwest Austin this fall and a second in Bee Cave next year. Another rival, Trader Joe's Co., is scouting for sites in Austin, Dallas and Houston. Last month, the company announced that its first Texas store is expected to open in Dallas this year, part of a 10-store statewide rollout. Company spokeswoman Alison Mochizuki declined to update the company's expansion plans on Tuesday.
