Henry’s Market will become “Sprouts”

Henry's Farmers Market stores in the Inland region will become Sprouts Farmers Markets when the two grocery chains merge.

The companies announced this week they would combine to form a single company under the Sprouts name with 98 stores in four states, $1 billion in annual revenues and more than 7,000 employees.

Under the terms of the deal, all Henry's locations will convert to the Sprouts name. Henry's operates seven Inland stores in Hemet, Chino Hills, Corona, Rancho Cucamonga on Baseline & Milliken, La Quinta and Temecula. The changeover is expected to happen later this year or in 2012, pending regulatory approval of the merger
