Raley’s

This is the most expensive grocery store I’ve been to in a long time. I wouldn’t ever buy anything here. Everything is overpriced. And don’t look for any help from the employees. They are so busy looking like they are working, they never look up to help. There are usually 3 guys working in the produce section, but you can’t get their attention, well maybe if you run up on them. There is a cluster of customers standing around the pharmacy, you can’t get by there. And no one moves to get out of your way. Stay away from that area. The check out is ok.

Watch your wallet here. For example, they advertise sandwiches at 9.99 and charge twelve dollars for it. They refuse to change the sign but if you hassle them a little they sell it at the advertised price. Thank the new manager who is a pinhead. Who knows what else they do. These kinds of places advertise one price and charge you more at the counter so look at your receipt.

Had a sit down meeting with the beverage dept here a few months ago to order all of the beer, wine and champagne for my wedding. The woman we met with in the beverage dept said she had a few questions for the manager about the meeting. She said she would talk to him and get back to us the next day… never heard from her again. Ummmm… OK.

For all of us here in Grass Valley, when it comes to grocery stores we are indeed fortunate. Fortunate to have our local Raley’s and it’s fantastic staff.
Not only is this store immaculate and well organized, the staff is always courteous, friendly and efficient at what they do. A testament to the excellent management and their ability to not only choose the right people for the job, but provide excellent training and motivation.
This is NOT and easy thing to achieve in a high volume and service based industry, but they do it.
We’ve also discovered that most every «Raley’s Brand» of food is just as good in not better than the other name brands, all while being a bit cheaper.
If you use your coupons wisely and take advantage of their new points rewards system, you can easily buy a lot and for less.
Great job guys! :-)

Good supermarket chain, but in no way 5 stars. The deli counter in SPD Nevada City, is so so much better, and to me that’s all that needs to be said. But nice store if you’re not in Nevada City and you need food for home. Oh Peets Coffee is here and that’s why I do stop in when in that side of town.

This Raley’s is the only one I have visited, but it’s really nice. It’s clean and organized. It has wonderful produce, deli and meat sections. Very clean and organized. I love getting my Pete’s coffee before I shop. Prices are good and the clerks are nice.

LOVE this supermarket. All of the checkers are super friendly. The produce is delicious. SOO much better than other grocery stores in the area. The bakery is also top notch. I love their baked bread. The peets coffee always seems busy. I am a starbucks brat so I dont drink peets but it must be good if its always busy. The only complaints I have are the chinese buffet. Not authentic at all. And the parking lot which cant really be helped now. The space is almost all compact. What about us large SUV and truck drivers… where do you expect us to park? But I do give a thumbs up to TOM and TOMAS!!! They both are my favorite! SOOO Nice! Great Organic section also!

I’ve always loved this grocery store — I go here when I’m on my way to/​from my in-​laws house or when I want to pick up something quick — they have such a great selection of alcohol, cheese, produce, and spices and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. I also love their little free newsletter books they have at the registers — I’ve found so many good recipes in them! We get our turkey from here for Thanksgiving — a delicious bird!

This place is the hottest ticket in town! The most beautiful grocery store ever. There is everything here! Peets coffee, a huge deli, a large magazine isle, a pharmacy and tons of other details. I even found wax for my daughters braces when both Longs and Rite Aid didn’t carry it.
I can’t say enough about the produce section which is the main reason I come here. The organic selection is gorgeous compared to the hippy dippy stores. And it’s less $! Best prices on organic leafy greens compared to the Briarpatch, Natural Selections, Save Mart, Safeway or SPD.
The health food section keeps on growing and the bulk bins are fun although I don’t know why they don’t have carry sugar in them? They also have the best price on almond milk.
They also offer up two kinds of carts. The «sport» carts for just a few things or the huge ones for the big trips.
SUPER friendly staff. They must get super high intensive customer service training! And they’ll do anything for you with a big fat smile on their face!
In a world where there are fewer and fewer places with that kind of niceness, this store is so refreshing.
The only bad thing is the parking lot. There are tiny spaces. I’ve had my little car dinged twice over there so if you don’t want your car nicked by thoughtless losers then you should park farther away from the store. I don’t get why they did that to the parking lot a few years back. A time when cars have never been bigger (i.e. Hummers SUV’s), they paint little spaces to park in. I guess to pack more people in.

I wandered in here one day in search of the Peet’s Coffee that is located inside. I was hoping that I could find a local coffee place similar to Starbucks (the one in Grass Valley messed up my white mochas all the time and I was sick of it). I remembered trying to apply to that Peet’s when I first moved here and the nice older lady behind the counter said that it was a coveted position for employees who had been working at Raley’s for awhile. Well all I have to say is, what I clever concept! The people who work at this Peet’s are on it! They are fast and efficient and always make my drink taste the way it should. I will be coming in here regularly for my coffee fix.
