Sprouts Farmers Market sets Port Charlotte opening date

Sprouts Farmers Market will open its new Port Charlotte store Jan. 12.

The Arizona grocery store chain will mark the occasion with a ceremonial ribbon cutting at 6:45 a.m. and follow that up with what it is calling a weekend of events. Among those are a pop-up party outside the store Friday, Saturday and Sunday and a product-filled reusable bag giveaway for the first 100 customers Friday and Saturday.

The new store is at 2000 Tamiami Trail the Murdock Carousel shopping center.
