The company's reputation as a deep-discount store began when the late Jim Reed began purchasing military surplus back in the 1940s and sold it at huge discounts. Today Grocery Outlet is a family run business with over 242 stores. Each store is independently owned and operated. The premise is simple: We offer brand name products at up to 50% off conventional retail prices. Our offering is wide: gro
ceries, frozen, deli & refrigerated, produce, fresh meat, general merchandise-seasonal products, housewares, toys, gifts, health & beauty, and the most impressive inventory of beer & wine. Our buyers shop the nation and the world by traveling thousands of miles each year just so we can offer the best brand-name products for less than what you would pay conventionally.
