Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. 10-K

Item 2. Properties We seek to select sites for our store locations in markets with growth potential where our target customers and supply chain capabilities intersect. As of December 28, 2025, we had 477 stores located in 24 states, as shown in the chart below: State Number of Stores State Number of Stores Alabama 3 New Jersey 5 Arizona 48 New Mexico 10 California 156 North Carolina 7 Colorado 34 Oklahoma 11 Delaware 2 Pennsylvania 7 Florida 58 South Carolina 2 Georgia 17 Tennessee 10 Kansas 4 Texas 60 Louisiana 1 Utah 7 Maryland 8 Virginia 3 Missouri 3 Washington 3 Nevada 17 Wyoming 1 In fiscal 2025, we opened 37 new stores. In fiscal 2024, we opened 33 new stores. We lease all of our stores from unaffiliated third parties. A typical store lease is for an initial 10 to 15 year term with three or four renewal options of five years each. We expect that we will be able to renegotiate these leases or relocate these stores as necessary. In addition to new store openings, we remodel or relocate stores periodically in order to improve performance. See “Business – New Store Development” for additional information with respect to our store site selection process. As of December 28, 2025, we utilized six distribution centers. Information about such facilities, as well as our current corporate office in Phoenix, Arizona, is set forth in the table below: Facility State Square Footage* Corporate Office Arizona 96,000 Distribution Center Arizona 129,000 Distribution Center California 337,000 Distribution Center California 108,000 Distribution Center Colorado 134,000 Distribution Center Florida 134,000 Distribution Center Texas 234,000 ________________________________________________ * Rounded to the nearest 1,000 square feet We lease our corporate office and our distribution centers in Arizona, Southern California, Colorado, Florida and Texas from unaffiliated third parties; our Northern California distribution center is leased by a third-party logistics provider. We expect to expand our distribution center network to support our growth. See “Business – Sourcing and Distribution” for additional information with respect to our distribution centers. 30 Table of Contents We believe our portfolio of long-term leases is a valuable asset supporting our retail operations, but we do not believe that any individual store property or distribution center lease is material to our financial condition or results of operations. In fiscal 2023 as part of our real estate portfolio review, we closed 11 stores. These stores, on average, were approximately 30% larger than our current prototype format and were underperforming financially. See Note 23, “Store Closures” to our consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding these store closures.
