Sprouts Farmers Market is set to open its 10th location in Tampa Bay.

The Phoenix-based grocer announced it would open its newest location in Westchase on Dec. 12. Located at 10619 Sheldon Rd., the 30,000-square-foot market has already hired 110 employees.

The first 200 customers will receive a 20% discount on their total initial purchase, and every opening day shopper will receive a free reusable shopping bag. Store hours will run from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. daily.

According to a press release, the store will be investing additional labor hours to allow for more frequent cleaning, and will be closely following CDC health guidelines.

Sprouts is now up to 23 locations throughout the state, and is known for having a wide variety of organic foods, including produce, vitamins, packaged groceries and seafood.
