Grocery Outlet has been a tradition for bargain seeking customers since 1946. The company’s reputation as a deep-discount store began when the late Jim Read began purchasing military surplus back in the mid forties and sold it at huge discounts. Today Grocery Outlet is recognized as the nation’s largest grocery extreme-value retailer, with annual revenues exceeding $700 million. Headquartered in Berkeley, California, Grocery Outlet currently encompasses over 133 independently operated stores in 6 Western States. Typically, Grocery Outlets are located in cities large and small and in all kinds of neighborhoods.
Our buyers shop the nation and the world by traveling thousands of miles each year just so we can offer the best brand-named products for less from more than 2500 manufacturers.
The premise is simple: We specialize in brand name products with “bargains only,” that meet the needs of our customers by offering 40% to 60% below traditional retailers. Our offering is wide: Groceries, frozen, deli & refrigerated, produce, fresh meat (selected stores), general merchandise — seasonal products, housewares, toys, and gifts — health & beauty, and a most impressive inventory of beer & wine.
Most stores are independently operated by locally based families. |
