Sprouts Farmers Market Announces New CEO
Sprouts Farmers Market announced that Jack Sinclair will step down as CEO on January 4 after serving in the role since 2019. He will transition to executive chairman, while Nick Konat, current president and COO, will become CEO and join the board of directors at that time. Konat joined Sprouts in February 2022 from Target, where he held various leadership roles across food and fashion categories. The succession plan was developed with Sinclair's ongoing involvement to ensure a smooth transition as part of Sprouts' strategic growth initiatives, including expansion into the Northeast and rollout of new programs like its loyalty initiative. Sinclair has led Sprouts through significant growth, increasing store count from 320 in 20 states to over 480 locations across 25 states. Annual revenue also rose sharply from $5.6 billion in fiscal 2019 to $8.8 billion during the most recent fiscal year.
