Sprouts Named Pear Retailer of the Year

Pear Bureau Northwest named their 2017 Retailer of the Year and it’s Sprouts Farmers Markets Produce Warehouse for the second consecutive year.

The Arizona retailer has more than 275 retailers across the U.S. with a focus on healthy living and Pear Bureau NW CEO Kevin Moffitt says they have a great variety and, “When they do a promotion like 'Pear-Fection', they create custom signage and build beautiful large displays to create excitement and generate sales.”

Sprouts Director Chad Miller noted that a wide variety of pear options for their producers has been a big part of their success.

Other 2017 Pear Category Leader winners were Bristol Farms, Dave's Markets, Defense Commissary Agency, Giant Eagle, H-E-B, Heinen's Grocery Store, Jewel-Osco and Tops Friendly Markets.
