Sprouts Farmers Market has applied to the city of Dallas to build a store in Oak Cliff just south of Interstate 30.
The proposed location is on the northeast corner of North Hampton Road and Fort Worth Avenue. The Crown Buffet Chinese restaurant and an Elrod’s Cost Plus market now occupy the corner.
Sprouts did not respond to a request for more information.
It’s been a while since a new grocery store was built in Oak Cliff.
Neighborhoods south of I-30 have long complained about lack of grocery selection in other parts of the city. HE-B’s Central Market bought property near the Bishop Arts District in 2017. Earlier this year, Stephen Butt, president of the grocery division, said a store there was “a lot on the drawing board” and the company was looking for the right developer partner. This property is located on the northeast corner of West Davis Street and North Beckley Avenue.

Berkley’s Market, based in Dallas, will soon open at 634 W. Davis St. in a former restaurant of the Bolsa Mercado.
Sprouts has 49 stores in Texas, including 23 in Dallas-Fort Worth. Two more under construction in Las Colinas and Grand Prairie are scheduled to open this year. Sprouts opened its first Texas store in Plano in 2005 and was one of the first new states for the Arizona-based grocery chain.
Sprouts Farmers Market is also planning to open next year in a space that Stein Mart in Hillside Village in East Dallas says has been vacated by Stein Mart.
The retailer has an aggressive schedule with 20 openings in 2021.
