Raley’s

Always fresh food, clean store, excellent customer service. I love watching their employees take care of our senior citizens– no like those other chain stores!

So sad this location has closed. It was so convenient to my house now I’m stuck going to Safeway constantly

I love Raley’s so much. It’s your typical American store, and the staff is just amazing. They are helpful and open to customers. ERGG I DONT WANT RALEYS TO CLOSE– There are a ton of steals and discounts throughout the store, and overall they’re prices are great (yes, better than Safeway’s). Come to Raley’s while you can! :D

As I was waiting for a prescription to be filled an elderly lady was trying to purchase her prescription but could not find her card to pay. First the cashier offered to pay for her then the pharmacists came over and allowed her to go and pay later. Very nice of them!

I’ve been a loyal Raley’s shopper for 20 years and am broken hearted that they will close on 8÷1÷2015. I love the employees, the atmosphere, the cleanliness, the food. They’ve got so much going for them. We shoppers are at a loss for where to shop after the closure. We don’t have many good choices. I try to shop in Newark as often as possible, so driving to the Fremont store is not a good option for me.
I will think fondly of all the employees and never forget their kindness, helpfulness, caring, and loving attitudes. You will all be missed by your shoppers!
Love to you all, Marla

Please don’t close in August! You are the best around this 4 corners! Your staffs are polite and knowledge about your produce! I know business is tough but you have quality in your produce and your price are reasonable that no other supermarket have. Most importantly is that u support local
Farmers and fishermen. Please reconsider about closing!!!

Just love this store have been going here for 12 yrs. THEY ARE CLOSING AUGUST 1ST !!!
The employees have been give 60days notice and no gauranteed placement.
I am soooo SAD !!! Big loss for Newark. I am NOT going to Safeway I really dont care for that store and the parking is horrible.
Bye Raleys !!!

Great, it’s pouring and come in to find out that they have a completely different policy regarding selling liquor. Go to the one in Fremont, they have lower prices on liquor. Not sure why they are unable to honor prices from the same store.

Best grocery store around. WAYYY cheaper than Safeway but has the same stuff.

it’s been a decade or 2 since i stepped into this Raley’s (or any other one for that matter) even then, they had the largest display of vegetables/​produce/​fruits i’ve ever seen in a supermart. in the middle of the store even!
i was attracted the melons, peaches. yummy!
the displays looked too delish to pass up.

.This store has it all (something I’ve not seen since shopping at Wegmans). They carry both organic and non organic inventory. They have a good size section devoted to products such as Derma E and Kumbachu. The store is well organized and I can get things here that other stores do not carry such as bubble wrap and packing tape. The employees are friendly and say «hello Jackie» when I walk in the doors.
What else? the store is clean… and that includes the carts.
I will truly miss shopping here.

I came here with my family to run some last minute Thanksgiving errands (i.e. like buying drinks for the family party and etc). This store is located in this huge plaza and it’s easy to find.
First off, the store was very organized and clean considering that this is the busiest time of the year (well sort of). We were able to find what we need quickly and a lot of things were on sale. That could be because of Thanksgiving and holiday sales, so I am not too sure. Prices of items seem reasonable. Also, the store is pretty huge, too. We didn’t dwell too long in the store, but from the isles we were in, this store is pretty great! I just love how everything is so clean and organized. The staff are friendly, too!
I’ll definitely be coming back since it’s also close to where I am!

Iono, something about raley’s i just really like. it’s not safeway. i feel like it’s safeway’s classier more elegant sister. yea i think super markets are human beings. i also would like to state that i’m no way sponsored by Raley’s and yes, i totes understand that raley’s and safeway are actually competitors and not sister companies.
albertsons tbh is kinda the same level of cool as safeway. and lucky’s just got this old school spin to it. alright yea, take this info with a grain of salt, i mean i ain’t no supermarket connoisseur.

Five stars and some extra KUDOS to Scott in the meat department. I’d called ahead and asked for some steaks to be cut… arrived and he’d just finished. The word PERFECT almost comes close to describing the quality, because they were better than that. We ended up with steaks so tender the knife was more decoration than a necessity. Seriously, I cut my steak with my fork.
And I must add that everyone in the store was kind, helpful and had a good sense of humor (they need that to deal with me…) Produce personnel were awesome and went out of their way to find what I needed.

I go to this location religiously because it is right across the street from work. The staff is super friendly and helpful. My only draw back to raleys is it’s pricing. It’s a bit steep for groceries that I’ve found in other big grocery companies. But honestly, that’s the only thing keeping me from giving the 5^th star.
The thing I like a lot about this location is that they have an in-​store Wells Fargo branch inside. (Very convenient). Lastly, they brew Peets Coffee, enough said. I don’t have to go to that green cup alternative.

WORST SANDWICH EVER.
WORST SANDWICH EVER.
WORST SANDWICH EVER.
I’m not quite sure how they were able to make such a yucky sandwich, considering they baked the bread AND sell produce?
1. As soon as I got the sandwich back to work, I noticed a funny smell. Like an old engine oil petroleum smell. It’s the sandwich paper! It smells AWFUL. Like you lifted your car hood and took a big, deep breath and then put that smell onto brown paper.
2. The bread was SO stale. My french roll was like a huge dry croûton. Brittle, crunch and dry. They baked the damn bread. How could it already be old? The inside of crusty bread, which is usually a bit fluffy, was also dry. I think they may take the old french rolls from the roll bin after a day and use them for sandwiches? What the hell.
3. The pre-​cooked, packaged bacon tastes like chemicals. Like they added a ‘cooked’ taste to the meat. Weird. Gross.
4. The deli turkey also tasted old.
5. The lettuce was rusty and wilted.
I’m going to bring my receipt back to the store after work and ask for a refund. That was a ridiculous sandwich.
I’m super pissed.

I normally don’t shop at Raley’s because their prices are higher than Safeway or Foodmaxx. The soup I was going to make however, called for mushroom base bouillon and I just knew I was not going to find it at Foodmaxx or Safeway. Although they carried they brand I was looking for, they only had it in beef, chicken and vegetable. Oh, well… there wasn’t many people there and there was no line or waiting at the register which made my errand go by super fast.

I love this store.
— self checkout
— huge gluten free selection & clearly marked
— organic milk in glass bottles, not UHT
— never long lines if I can’t use self checkout
— nice, happy employees
— decent selection of produce (could use slight improvement of organic)
— carried diestel turkey for thanksgiving
— low prices for many everyday items (udis bread is like $ 1.40 cheaper here!)
(Could use grassfed beef and organic chicken)

Great tasting garlic flavored rotisserie chicken makes me stop by often to grab a quick dinner. But beware, don’t do all your shopping here, as they have higher prices compared to Lucky or Safeway. Just buy the weekly specials and offers from their something extra rewards program and you’ll come out ahead.

They have Hatch Green Chile on Sale Aug 15 – 21, 2012. I called twice to make sure there had it & still had some before going.
They told me they have a lot, but once it’s gone, that’s it.
I got there after 5pm and saw them in the produce section. 89c/​lb I just picked 4 long ones to try. It was under $ 1, but I still charged it.
Personal watermelon $ 3.99 ea, I almost bought one, but didn’t.
