Sprouts also completed the rollout of its meat distribution facilities with the opening of a Northern California facility in Q2, President and COO Nick Konat said. Now, around 85% of Sprouts’ stores carry fresh meat that flows through the company’s own distribution centers, according to Sinclair. “Loyalty and personalization remain important long-term enablers for the business,” Sinclair said. E-commerce also continues to perform well, with digital sales growing more than 12% in Q2, accounting for approximately 16% of total quarterly sales, Valentine said. Sprouts’ self-distribution push, which has so far focused on produce and meat, will next focus on bringing select Sprouts brand items into existing company-owned distribution centers, Konat said.
