Sprouts Cooking School is set to open a second location in Zionsville late summer 2022 that will complement its flagship location in Carmel. The 1,265 square-foot space will be located at 11145 N. Michigan Road between the Pure Barre studio and Athletico Physical Therapy.

Sprouts is Indiana’s only designated kids cooking school and originally launched seven years ago in owner Stephanie Drewry’s home. After the growth in its first two years, Drewry opened a Carmel storefront location in 2017.

“We have customers who travel from all over the greater Indianapolis area and beyond for our classes, and this Zionsville location was chosen to create convenience for new and current customers,” Drewry said. “We are excited to become a part of this community.”

Since its opening, Sprouts Cooking School has served more than 15,000 Hoosier children as it hosts single-session cooking classes, special family fun cooking classes, an exclusive MemberChef program, seasonal cooking camps and cooking-themed birthday parties for children ages 3 through 13.

The Zionsville location anticipates a late summer opening and grand opening events to introduce the company to the community and celebrate its expansion. The new space design will mimic the established Carmel location and feature kid-sized kitchens and island stations with ovens and stovetops where the students learn and work together.

“I am thrilled to open a second kids cooking school and to be able to offer more children the opportunity to learn to cook and have fun with food,” Drewry said. “Sprouts is passionate about nurturing adventurous palates, building a strong foundation for a lifelong love of cooking and encouraging all families to cook together.”
