CERRITOS -- The City of Cerritos is in final negotiations to bring Sprouts Farmers Market to the Lincoln Station shopping center located near the southeast corner of South Street and Pioneer Boulevard.

The new grocery store will take the place of the Sports Authority previously located in that center.

The addition of Sprouts will be complemented by architectural upgrades and landscaping updates made to the Lincoln Station shopping center, Cerritos officials said. The store is expected to open in the summer of 2017.

“I am thrilled to announce that the city is in negotiations to bring Sprouts to Cerritos,” said Mayor George Ray. “Sprouts will be a wonderful addition to our community, and the accompanying upgrades planned at Lincoln Station will help to revitalize the shopping center.”

Sprouts grocery stores offer a variety of natural, organic and gluten-free items. There are approximately 240 Sprouts stores located in 13 states throughout the country.
