Construction has begun on the new Sprouts Farmers Market and apartments that will replace the originally-proposed Walmart in Oakland Park.

Quote:
A Sprouts Farmers Market grocery store could soon be on its way to Oakland Park Boulevard, as well as residential and green space.

The Kmart closed in 2014 and the lot was purchased by Walmart. However, that plan was dropped when the company butted heads with the city. Ram Realty Services applied to purchase the 10 gross-acre property as mixed-use land, which was unanimously approved by the city’s Planning and Zoning Board in July.

The company presented its plans to the commission Aug. 5 to include a Sprouts grocery store, retail space, apartments, multi-family townhomes, a BBQ area for residents, dog park, walking path with tree canopy, a boardwalk along the Middle River mangroves, shared-ride service loading area, and a dine-in restaurant.

SW Miami, actually West Kendall is getting the 1st Sprouts in Miami-Dade County INAGURATED in under 2 months, dates have been announced (November 3, 2021)

On N Kendall Drive about a mile West off the Fl Turnpike..Just under 4 mls from our home. Gotta Love it.

The closest Whole Foods is 22 mls from Us R/T, and I rather be inside the Sprouts anyday before WF.

They Run Weekly and Monthly Specials that Whole Foods Never Does. Everything else basically is identical at the 2 Grocers.

Greetings

Walmart in any area equates to a Winn Dixie in decadence.

Took my old lady yesterday to the Sprouts at Miramar, exactly 30 mls from the Hammocks (SW Miami) door to door...She had never been to one, like I have..She bought lots of Veggies and Flours she uses to bake Bread at home...Liked it eventought she said: "it's really nothinn but a Whole Foods", BUT the closest WF to us here in Miami is over 10 mls, and the Sprouts opening in November is just a bit over 3 mls from Us. both one way trips.

Not only that, she found fresh Swiss Chard for less than half of the price at WF..She's goinn to be really glad when here we will have them so close to us.
