Mission Touching Lives for the Better

Description At Grocery Outlet, we love brands. Like, really love them. That’s why we work so hard every day to bring our customers the brands they love at prices that are nothing short of pure bliss. In fact, we’ve been helping customers save big since 1946. That’s when our founder Jim Read opened his very first store, selling military surplus at deep discount prices.

And, of course, we wouldn’t be anywhere without the hundreds of local families who own and operate their own Grocery Outlet stores, allowing us to deliver superior customer service personalized to each of the local communities we serve. So come in and see for yourself. It might seem like a dream, but we guarantee the savings couldn’t be more real.

In 1946, Jim Read started selling military surplus for deep discounts in San Francisco and Grocery Outlet has been WOWing bargain-minded shoppers ever since.

We offer brand-name, quality products at up to 60% off conventional retail prices.

How do we do it? With the help of our brilliant buyers who shop the world, travelling thousands of miles each year to find the most thrilling deals on brand name groceries. Whether it’s through packaging changes, surplus inventory or product overruns, our buyers source it all – everything from fresh meat and produce to our natural and organic NOSH items to the WOW deals we can hardly believe ourselves.

With over 480+ independently operated stores in California, Deleware, Idaho, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington. Grocery Outlet stores are located in cities large and small and serve all kinds of neighborhoods. Our stores are independently operated by locally based families.
