Sprouts adds new location at Tamaya Sprouts Farmers Market, a Phoenix-based healthy foods retailer, confirmed a second store in Jacksonville just three weeks after announcing the first. Sprouts said Wednesday it will open a store at Beach and Tamaya boulevards, west of Kernan Boulevard. The first was announced for the former Best Buy space at The Markets at Town Center. The chain previously was identified as the probable anchor at a neighborhood shopping center planned on 11 acres to serve the Tamaya housing communities under development and surrounding neighborhoods. The site also is near Jacksonville Golf & Country Club. Previous conceptual site plans showed a 67,400-square-foot retail center at northeast Beach and Kernan boulevards anchored by a 30,000-square-foot supermarket.

At The Markets at Town Center, Sprouts is awaiting approval of a building permit to convert the former Best Buy. No contractor is listed for the project, described as a $2.5 million remodeling.
