“The GNC staff is soo helpful and friendly big thanks to them for being amazing ?. Whenever I go in they always tell me about their sales and I end up saving money which is always a huge bonus. I like purchasing clean energy drinks so whenever I can save money my favorite things I definitely do. They even broke down the math for me the last time I thought they were trying to sell me but they totally weren’t when I listened to what they were saying it made sense. So now I go in there in a regular basis because they do have good deals on things. I really do appreciate they went out of their way to help me out and let me know about their deals when I’m purchasing some of my favorite products. The last time I went in I got a case of BUM energy drinks cause it was a solid deal. ???? ?”
“Sprouts carries a number of vegan options in every department and has awesome produce. Their deli also has a great 'build your own sandwich' with great veggie options for only $5 Updated from previous review on 2026-02-13”
“HOPE IS A NATIONAL TREASURE!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m convinced she’s running both the self-checkout and the regular lanes with some kind of superhero powers. Meanwhile, I’m over here struggling to find the barcode on a bag of apples.
She greets you with a big smile and a genuine “How are you doing today?”—and suddenly you forget you just spent way too much on snacks you didn’t need.
Honestly, seeing Hope is the highlight of my Sprouts run. 10/10, would stand in any line she’s running ?”

“I go here for coffee all the time, and I love it… except the days when a certain person is working… please teach your employees how to make a simple cup of coffee, kind of sucks paying $4 for hot water”
“The old man is talking again.
He has three things on the belt. Bread. Eggs. A can of soup. He stands close to the counter like it’s cold behind him. The clerk scans slowly. He doesn’t notice. Or maybe he does and doesn’t care.
He tells her the tomatoes aren’t what they used to be. Says they used to split open in the sun. Says they smelled like something. She nods. She says, “Yeah,” the way people do when they don’t know what else to say.
I look at my watch. I don’t need to. I just want to feel the weight of time in my hand.
There are four people behind me now. No one speaks. We all breathe a little louder than we need to.
The old man laughs. It’s not a big laugh. It’s dry. He says his wife used to make soup with bones and scraps. “Best you ever had,” he says. Then he adds, “She’s gone now.”
The clerk’s face changes. Just a little. She says she’s sorry. He shrugs. Like it’s weather.
I shift my feet. I think about dinner at home. The light from the television. The quiet. It will not be so different from his quiet. I don’t like that thought.
He asks her what she’s studying. She says business. He says that’s good. Says the world always needs people who understand money.
The machine beeps. The receipt prints.
He folds it slow. Puts it in his wallet like it matters.
He thanks her. Says her name. He must have read it off the tag. No one does that anymore.
He pushes his cart away.
Now it’s me.
The clerk looks at me. “How are you?”
I almost say fine. I almost end it there.
Instead I say, “Long shift?”
She nods. “Yeah.”
I nod back. That’s all.
The line moves again.”
“I have known about this place for years, decided to go in. I bought strawberries for $1.50 and a small seedless watermelon for $1.50. OMG they were delicious the strawberries were big, red and sweet. The prices on fruit and vegetables is great. The strawberries are $3.99 @ Von's. In one week I went back 4 times. Worth checking out.”
“Went to Sprouts on Western in San Pedro looking for specific electrolyte drink for my ill granddaughter. Couldn’t find so I asked an employee passing by, Harold, who was in process of transporting a cart of restocking goods to another area of store. Harold is simply incredible. Aside from his upbeat and friendly demeanor, he is also tenacious as he went to 4 different store locations trying to locate the product (recently reset stock plan). Much to my delight Harold delivered on finding the product I was seeking. Given the situation, my appreciation is beyond words. Finding heroes in these trying times can be challenging but I feel I found one today and his name is Harold- a kind, humble and caring employee at Sprouts. I tracked down his Manager, Vicki to share my feedback and I could easily see how she manages the store with the same values as Harold. Thank you so very much for all you do to so successfully weave “think customer” into your employee’s working values.”
“I love coming here! I'm always greeted with such a friendly energy. Plus, with Williams service in todays visit, I couldn't complain, always great. The produce is always fresh here, especially now for the summer, it's perfect!”
“This location has the best selection of seafood, and the hot bar/premade food section has so much variety. It’s one of the nicer higher end whole foods that I’ve ever been to”
“Muchos food. Yum it's actually my favourite ever. Yummers as homelander would say. Don't forget to buy some peanuts for goodluck ? (photo of water bottles commonly called hydroflasks)”
“LOVE this place! The young lady helping me was so knowledgeable and friendly. We did my whole WIC shopping list in under five minutes. Forever going here to purchase WIC items”
“This is a honest man with faith in his heart. If you come in with an open mind and heart he can truly help. He has helped my Aunt in so many ways. My aunt is now able to breathe FREELY !!! I am FOREVER THANKFUL! ?? Thank you so much Franco ????”
“I am a Naturopathic Doctor - Nutritionist who has experienced cancer at 28, leukemia at 35, and later in my late 40's after an auto accident where a door handle went through my head and upon impact, severed the connection between the right and left lobe. I was given a diagnoses of having permanent irreversible brain damage with an 8th Grade IQ and no chance of recovery.
Only after a span of almost 20 years on permanent disability . . . at a time that I had become suicidal, was I introduced to SUNRIDER HERB FOODS by a lady diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and who left a Nursing Home to return to her home.
After all the Psychiatrists, suicide watches, drugs, physiotherapy, with no change, no improvement, I was skeptical. Asking those involved what could this grass possibly do for me when I have had the best specialised Drs., drugs and rehab available?
Well, I was asked to wait with patience as the new story of my life, a life of cellular regeneration, was beginning to be rewritten.
At that time I had had 8 + broken bones (knees, nose tailbone etc.), Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Post Traumatic Disorder, a stutter, a limp, whiplash (unable to turn my head), I weighed 81 pounds and existed on coffee and cigarettes.
The Lord had a plan for me and nothing was going to take my life til he was ready. No medical Dr. was going to tell me my life was over . . . It took many years but I succeeded in becoming a Board Certified Traditional Naturopath and Nutritionist and have been in practice in Plainfield, Illinois for approximately 25 + years.
Daily I have eaten these foods since 1991. NATUROPATHYBYLEEND.COM

“The lady here was so kind! She helped me find the protein I was looking for. Asked if there was anything else she can help me with and answered all the questions I had. Store was empty. Totally recommend this GNC!”
“I tend to shy away from frozen foods due to the amount of sodium & the lack of taste. I tried Cedarlane’s Adobo Chicken Power Bowl, though, & am somewhat impressed! The sodium level is 100-300 mg lower than a typical frozen meal & the bowl was delicious! One serving has 20g of protein, only 13g carbs, 8g of fat. It is filled with spinach, kale, & chicken breast. It’s a great quick healthier lunch for the office than eating out!”
“Went in trying to find an alternative on protein powder. Kurt was very helpful and gave good alternatives on other areas of my diet. Haven't had an experience like such in a while. 5 Stars.”
“This company produces great products for those consumers who enjoy choosing plant based alternative foods. They have many products both refrigerated and frozen. I purchased their refrigerated Roasted Garlic Hummus and enjoyed the soy free clean ingredients and the depth of flavor. It goes great with crudités, crackers and bagel chips.”
