It looks like South Jersey is getting a new Sprouts Farmers Market. The popular (and rapidly expanding) grocery chain has its sights set on West Deptford, according to 42 Freeway.

It will be the third Sprouts in New Jersey, with locations already in Haddon Twp. and Marlton.

While Sprouts is expanding across the nation, the bulk of its stores are in California.

The all-new Sprouts will be developed in the Southwood Shopping Center on Route 45 (Mantua Pike), on the right side of the shopping center. The new store will be approximately 23,000 square feet, which is the same size as the Haddon Township store, but around 10,000 square feet smaller than the Marlton location.
