Sunflower Farmers Market to open in East Dallas

(Dallas Morning News, The (KRT) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Jul. 7--Sunflower Farmers Market, a Colorado-based organic and natural supermarket chain, is opening in a former Carnival Food Store in East Dallas next year.

Sunflower is moving into a building that's been vacant for more than two years. It's located at 1800 N. Henderson Ave. which is just north of Ross Ave. and west of Greenville Ave.

In April, founder and chief executive Mike Gilliland said he expected to open five or six stores in the Dallas area over the next 18 months. He said shoppers in North Texas want more natural and organic foods at lower prices.

Sunflower has a Plano store under construction in about half the space vacated by Albertson's at Preston and West Parker roads. That store opens later this year.

Both the East Dallas and Plano stores are near Whole Foods Markets which is Sunflower's real estate strategy, Mr. Gilliland said. In April, he said, "We like to locate near Whole Foods because they've educated the shoppers and we can sell to them at lower prices."



Whole Foods is renovating the building that once was a Minyard supermarket at Abrams Road and Gaston Avenue in Lakewood. The store, scheduled to open in January, will replace Dallas' original Whole Foods on Lower Greenville.

Sunflower's advertising message is "serious food...silly prices." Its produce departments include a mixture of organic and nonorganics. It sells natural and organic meats and poultry and almost 800 private-label grocery products. Sunflower says by stocking a limited selection, it's able to keep prices lower.



Sprouts Farmers Market, a chain of small natural food stores based in Phoenix, opened its first area store in Plano in 2005 and now has seven stores in the Dallas area.
