PHOENIX - Jan. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Phoenix, January 27, 2014 /French Bear Company/- The French Bear Company, a local company owned and operated by two women entrepreneurs, is proud to announce the expansion of its partnership with Sprouts Farmers Market, a specialty retailer of fresh, natural and organic foods at great prices. Starting in January, customers will be able to purchase part of the signature French Bear product line packaged specially for Sprouts at 10 locations throughout the metro-Phoenix area.

The French Bear Company features a variety of fresh baked breads and muffins made from the secret family recipe of the CEO and founder Christine French, all using honey instead of sugar and other wholesome ingredients.

“We are dedicated to making a difference in the communities in which we live and serve. We actively give of our time, encourage those around us to volunteer for various groups, and look for how our company can be part of impacting the community actively” says COO, Nicole Spracale. “Even though we are small, we know we can be part of a solution. We find ways to support various charities, especially those tied to autism, which is why our partnership with Sprouts is especially meaningful to us. They have been very active in supporting this cause for a long time, and we appreciate that.” reports French.

Based in Phoenix, Sprouts believes in giving back to the community. For the past three years the company has helped raise money for autism research through a multifaceted program with Autism Speaks and the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center.
