Natural-Food Chains Sprouts, Henry’s To Merge

Sprouts Farmers Market and Henry's Farmers Market — two natural foods grocery chains that were founded by the same family, but operated under different owners — will merge operations, officials announced Wednesday.

Financial terms for the arrangement were not disclosed. As a result of the combination, Sprouts will have 7,000 employees and 98 stores located in Arizona, California, Colorado and Texas through the addition of Henry's, a California-focused chain that also operates Sun Harvest stores in Texas.

Sprouts has a location in Boulder at 2950 Baseline Road.

The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter, officials said.
