PHOENIX — Sprouts Farmers Market just announced a new partnership with Buddy Brew Coffee, a Tampa, Fla.‑based specialty coffee company, to open 10 Buddy Brew Coffee cafes this summer inside selected Sprouts stores across the Tampa Bay and southwest Florida region.
Inside selected Sprouts stores across Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Sarasota counties, the cafes expand Sprouts’ in‑store coffee program, building on successful launches with local coffee roasters in Southern California (Klatch Coffee) and Arizona (PRESS Coffee). The partnership introduces Buddy Brew Coffee to Pinellas and Pasco counties and will more than double the brand’s total cafe footprint.
