At the first mention of Henry’s, many students think of an Arizona Iced Tea, Peach Rings and a giant sandwich.
With Henry’s being a go-to place for the neighboring areas, any little change in the franchise is apparent to the community. Lately, there have been some adjustments made with Henry’s Farmers Markets across the county. The store’s new name is Sprouts Farmers Market.
Both Sprouts and Henry’s are companies that were created by the Boney Family; they were each maintained under different owners but recently both owners decided to come together.
The employees at Sprouts were informed about the changes too.
“[The employees were] very well aware these past couple of months that this name change was going to be made,” Sprouts manager Brett Greene said. “The company slowly started to promote the new name.”
Though the employees were privy to the change, students were not; some have wondered if the name change could mean that the food will change.
“I have not noticed anything different with the food except for the fact that the labels are different on packages,” sophomore Addie Breese said.
Evidently, the customers have not been negatively affected by the changes that have been made.
“The products are the same at Sprouts as they were at Henry’s,” Greene said.
Spouts’ main goal in this name change is the promise to bring a bigger selection of fresh products to the store, and to ensure the best quality for all consumers.
