Another Sprouts Farmers Market set to open in Marietta by early 2017

Apparently the old "this town ain't big enough for the two of us" cliche does not apply to Sprouts Farmers Market and Cobb County.

The natural and organic food store announced Wednesday that it will open eight new locations in the first quarter of 2017, with one of them to be located at 3805 Dallas Highway near The Avenue West Cobb.

There is already a location in East Cobb, at 4101 Roswell Road.

Sprouts will open 36 stores total next year, bringing more than 100 career opportunities to local neighborhoods, the news release said.

The first batch of openings in 2017 will also include a location in DeKalb.
