Sprouts Farmers Market will officially open its first location in Pennsylvania on Wednesday at South Philadelphia's Lincoln Square.
The transformational project introduces new apartments and retail to the awakening Washington Avenue corridor, where a new Target will soon be joined by the likes of Chipotle and Insomnia Cookies.
But with 140 new jobs and a different allure for grocery shoppers, Sprouts has long been anticipated as the project's greatest addition to the neighborhood.
Housed in the historic rail shed near the intersection of Broad Street, Sprouts occupies a space that once served as a stop on the funeral tour following Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865.
