Cantrell Astbury Kranz, P.A. (CAK), a leading firm specializing in employment law, franchise law, and related business disputes, announced today that they have filed a significant lawsuit against Sprouts Farmers Market, alleging the termination of a former employee who complained about sexual harassment and sexual battery by her manager.

The lawsuit, filed on May 9, 2023, alleges multiple instances of sexual harassment and sexual battery suffered by the plaintiff, Jane Doe, while working at Sprouts Farmers Market. The first reported incident dates back to 2017, and the most recent occurred in August 2020. The allegations include a lack of appropriate remedial action taken by Sprouts, and retaliatory behavior, leading to Doe's termination.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) conducted a two-year investigation into the allegations, concluding that there was reasonable cause to believe all of Doe's claims. The EEOC also found evidence of wider sex discrimination, including sexual harassment and retaliation for engaging in protected activity, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, within Sprouts' District 52 stores since at least August 2019.
