Another place for groceries will open in Middletown as Sprouts Farmers Market sets up shop.

According to the Delaware Business Times the new Sprouts will open in 2025.

Sprouts Farmers Market will be right by another favorite store of ours: Target!

Sprouts will join target in the new Northside Shopping Center in Middletown.

“Sprouts opened its first store in Delaware in 2020 adjacent to the Concord Mall near the Pennsylvania border off U.S. Route 202. The Middletown space would appear to be a slightly smaller footprint than the roughly 30,000-square-foot location opened there” according to the Delaware Business Times.

Target announced their Middletown expansion back in January

The Northside Shopping Center also  features a Wine and Spirits, Burger King, Popeye’s Chicken, a Dash In, and a Harbor Freight Tools across the street according to online plans.

Other nearby Target locations include locations at Brandywine Town Center off Concord Pike, the Christiana Mall, Prices Corner shopping center and on Route 13 in Dover.

The Northside Shopping Center will be located at 465 Middletown Warwick Rd, Middletown, DE 19709.

Targets opening date is estimated to be in the summer of 2024, so the waiting times on these stores will be awhile but it is still very exciting!

What should you expect at the Sprouts coming to Middletown?

Sprouts Famers Market says to “think of Sprouts as all of the very best parts of a real farmers market under one roof, open every day of the week. With our commitment to value in every department, and knowledgeable and friendly team members, we’re confident that once you shop Sprouts you’ll think different is good too.”

Sprouts Farmers Market  operates 380 stores with approximately 31,000 team members.

If you want to see what Sprouts Farmers Market is all about  before they open in Middletown you can check out their Concord Mall location at 4801 Concord Pike, Wilmington, DE 19803.

You Aren't A True Delawarean Until You've Done These 9 Things

True Delawareans are proud to be from the first state and they let you know it. You can’t mistake a person from Delaware for a person from anywhere else. But you aren’t a true Delawarean until you’ve done these 9 things.

We brought you You Know You’re From Delaware If You Say These 16 Things”. Now, you can talk the talk but can you walk the walk?

Delaware Pride

We polled people from the first state on what really makes someone a “True Delawarean”. Of course there were the stereotypical identifiers that most people know. But then, the answers took a left turn and we started seeing answers that even we forgot about.

Being a true Delawarean doesn’t mean you have to be born and raised here. No siree. You could be a transplant but as long as you’ve experienced the things on this long list, you can say you’re from Delaware.

There’s even a funny little song that someone created. Now we’re not sure if we agree with everything he sang about but it is pretty entertaining.

Facts About Delaware

Aside from the obvious like shopping with no sales tax, there are so many other things that make you a true Delawarean.

If you’d like to see the full list of responses from our listeners, hop on over to our Facebook Page. 

Otherwise, just take a look at our list below because we’ve compiled a checklist for you to see if you really are a full blooded Delawarean.

Because, you’re not a true Delawarean until you’ve…

    “Down the shore” is a Jersey thing. Delaware people go “To The Beach”. If you say ‘shore’, we immediately know you’re not from here.

     

  • Corrected Someone's Pronunciation Of These Words

    It’s NewARK, not NewWORK

    It’s SmURNA, not SmEERNA

    It’s UD, not UDEL (we know, not pronunciation. But it’s just WRONG)

    It’s HO KESS IN, Not HOCK A SIN

     

  • Attended The Christmas Weed Parade

     

    And no, it’s not held at 4:20pm.

    We’re talking about the Claymont Christmas Parade that pays tribute to a weed in the ground by decorating it like a Christmas Tree.

    The first parade was in 1998, setting the tradition of it being the first Saturday in December.

  • Seen Someone You Know Everywhere You Go

    Yes, Delaware is small but mighty. It’s easy to run into a friend or family member or multiple wherever you go!

  • Created Your Own Backroad Route

    Delaware Roads Are Always Being Worked On

    With the amount of construction in our small state it’s kind of a right of passage to come up with your own alternate route based on traffic lights and no turn on red.

    If you have a backup for your backup route, you’re even more Delaware than the rest of us.

  • Had a Sausage In Smyrna
