WOODBRIDGE, NJ — A Sprouts farmers’ market will be opening in Woodbridge.
The Sprouts will be located across from the Avenel IHOP on Rt. 35 north. It will be the anchor tenant in a brand-new shopping center developers plan to build there called the Cloverleaf Center, located where Rt. 1 meets Rt. 35.
Construction on the Cloverleaf Center has not started yet, but Woodbridge Township is planning a groundbreaking there at 12 noon this Wednesday.
The Cloverleaf Center will be built on Rt. 35 north, adjacent to the Eastern Dental medical building. Wick Companies is the owner of that lot and the developer. Access will be from Rt. 1 south and Rt. 35 north.
This was all announced by Woodbridge Township Monday.
It will be completed sometime in 2025. Wick Companies published these renderings of how the Cloverleaf Center will look.
Sprouts is first confirmed tenant, an “anchor” for the new shopping center
Sprouts started in Arizona as an organic health food store, but has since expanded to carry traditional grocery store items. Sprouts has an emphasis on organic, healthy fresh produce and plant-based foods. They also carry keto and paleo food products.
Sprouts is in the midst of a rapid expansion across the U.S. (one just opened in Aberdeen Township this summer; here are photos of what it looks like inside).
That’s not all: Woodbridge Township said they are currently finalizing a lease with a national retail footwear company (unnamed) to move in there.
Other stores such as Anne Taylor Loft, CAVA healthy Mediterranean/hummus, Turning Point breakfast/lunch chain, Paris Baguette, Habit Burger and Duck Donuts are also all in talks to open at the Cloverleaf Center.
It will be called the Cloverleaf Center because that is the location where the first cloverleaf intersection in the state of New Jersey existed for many years, as the traffic circle directed cars through Rts. 1 and 35. This was before construction of the underpass.
