CONCORD, N.C. — Sprouts Farmers Market is expanding again, debuting its fourth Charlotte-area store in the same spot as a former specialty grocer in time for the holiday season.
Sprouts will open at 7 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13, at Christenbury Corners, 8885 Christenbury Parkway, in Concord.
The 24,110-square-foot store marks Sprouts’ first location in a Charlotte suburb.
The site near Concord Mills mall was previously home to Earth Fare, which closed in August 2025 amid lease negotiations.
Sprouts’ expansion is part of a highly competitive landscape, where nearly 730 grocery stores are vying for market share across Charlotte’s over $10.8 billion supermarket industry.
In 2023, Sprouts opened at 14124 Steele Creek Road in Steele Creek, which was also a former Earth Fare site.
In August 2025, Sprouts’ third area store opened to long lines at 110 E. 36th St. in NoDa.
