Sprouts partners with Florida coffee chain for in-store cafes
A leading specialty and organic grocer is bringing coffee shops to select stores in Florida.
Sprouts Farmers Market is teaming up with Buddy Brew Coffee, a Tampa, Fla.‑based specialty coffee company, to open 10 cafes this summer inside select Sprouts stores across the Tampa Bay and Southwest Florida region (see full list at end of article).
Launching inside select Sprouts stores across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Sarasota counties, the partnership introduces Buddy Brew Coffee to Pinellas and Pasco counties for the first time and will more than double the brand’s total cafe footprint. The cafes expand Sprouts’ in‑store coffee program, building on successful launches with local coffee roasters in Southern California (Klatch Coffee) and Arizona (PRESS Coffee).
