Help me out here guys. Sprouts is opening right across the street from my Reasors here in B.A. Why should I go to them?

Better prices on produce.  They have really good specials on meat and seafood, make their own sausage with no preservatives, and charge a fair price for it.

Reasor's still gets some of our business, but we've become "small market" shoppers.  We don't do a big grocery buy all at once.  MC or I will go every few days to keep things fresher and to exploit different specials at different grocers.  We have many good choices in mid-town now.  If anything, we are probably over-served to a degree.

"It's not Reasors" isn't enough?

Sprouts is good for perishables...  everything else, not so much

Sprouts seems to be organic stuff without the wacky Whole Foods prices.

They also have a good selection of "conventional" produce at good prices.

Apparently the chain itself must not be doing too bad.  I saw a notice on one of the construction news feeds I get they are remodeling the Green Acres in OKC.  No idea where it's located.

The location of the Jenks store.  I forgot it existed unless I took the bridge into Jenks to go to Sams.  By then I'd already gone to the grocery.

Sprouts will commonly have really amazing meat deals, and the quality of the meats is excellent. The store at 101st and Memorial has a great meat counter staff.  I can call them and have them pick out stuff for me and hold it (because when they have a sale, it goes fast!).  I really only go for the meat sales.

Thanks for the info guy's. My Reasors are already posting prices with better than "Sprouts" signs on certain produce. I thought, geez let em open first.
