Walton Global announces Sprouts Farmers Market as grocery anchor at Westphalia Town Center

Retailer leases 23,000 s/f within the project’s planned 140,000 s/f retail center

Upper Marlboro, MD — Walton Global announced that Sprouts Farmers Market, one of the largest and fastest growing specialty retailers of fresh, natural and organic food in the United States, has signed a lease to serve as the grocery anchor at the highly anticipated Westphalia Town Center retail development in Prince George’s County.

Sprouts Farmers Market will occupy 23,000 s/f within the project’s planned 140,000 s/f retail center. The store is currently anticipated to open in the second half of 2028, subject to customary development approvals from Prince George’s County.

“I am extremely excited that Sprouts will be an anchor tenant in Westphalia,” said Aisha Braveboy Prince George’s County executive. “My administration has been working closely with At-Large Councilmember Wala Blegay, District 6 Council Member Danielle Hunter, and the community to ensure that an elevated grocery experience that provides organic and locally-grown produce is a part of this community. We look forward to welcoming Sprouts to our County! As such, I have instructed my administration to make this a priority project.”

Westphalia Town Center is a 480-acre master-planned, mixed-use community located in Upper Marlboro, along Maryland Rte. 4 (Pennsylvania Ave.). The project will include residential neighborhoods, retail, dining, and community services in a cohesive environment.

“Bringing a fresh, high-quality grocery store to our neighborhood is about more than just convenience; it’s about ensuring every family has access to the healthy food they deserve,” said Prince George’s County councilmember Wala Blegay. “I am proud to announce this new location, and I pledge to work with staff and my colleagues on the council to actively support the fast tracking of the remaining approvals and infrastructure needs to ensure we get these doors open and our residents served as quickly as possible.”

Westphalia Town Center is envisioned as a premier live-work-play destination, blending modern residential living with walkable retail and community-focused amenities. The broader master plan reflects Walton Global’s long-term commitment to delivering thoughtfully planned communities in high-growth corridors.

“Securing Sprouts as our anchor tenant marks a major milestone for Westphalia Town Center,” said Michael Slavotinek, EVP of Real Estate – East Region at Walton Global. “This partnership advances our vision of delivering a dynamic, community-focused destination that supports long-term growth and connectivity for residents and the surrounding area.”
