About Us:

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. The rest, as they say, is history. And today, the third generation of the Read family is leading the way, with 550+ stores across the nation and more than 1.5 million shoppers hitting the aisles each week. That makes Grocery Outlet the nation's largest extreme value retailer. A feat we're more than proud of.

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. 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.
