Raley’s

Was in the meat department yesterday. When an employee came over and rudely pushed my cart out of his way. I was in the process of buying some steaks. He could of used the empty hand he pushed my cart with to hold the meat he was carrying for one second, said excuse me and I would have gotten out of his way. Instead I returned the meat to the shelf, and as I was walking away, heard him from two isles over say, OH I GUESS I WAS IN THERE WAY, very sarcastic and loud. At that point I returned all my merchandise to the shelf’s from which they
came and exited the store. Did my shopping at Safeway which I will continue to do in the future.

It’s so sad that the market is great, but the young guy that works behind the counter at Peet’s inside the market cannnot make a decent iced coffee or tea

I personally worked here for 2 years and loved this place. I continue to grocery shop here. The meat and produce is the best in town. Grocery shopping for boxed items can be expensive. Staff is friendly and the lines are never long.

Standard Raley’s. Well-​stocked with products and fresh produce. Separate aisles and sections for organic foods. Many open cashiers!

I shop here frequently because it is convient. Their prices are higher, but they have great sales, the best deli and good produce. I can get special items here that I can’t get other places.
The customer service has a lot to be desired though. I have had a deli person be snarky with me, I have had to wait in line a long time because an employee was chit chatting with another customer. (uh, call for help perhaps???) and tonights experience was the last straw.
I purchased something and was double charged. The store was quite busy, unusually so so I had to wait in line for quite a while. In order to get the error rectified I had to wait in another line. OK, I get that people make mistakes, we all do and I really wasn’t upset about it. Mildly annoyed, and I mentioned that it seemed silly for me to have to wait in line twice, but I was not upset. It was at that time that I discovered not only was I charged twice, but overcharged for the original item. The employee kept arguing with me about the original price. She kept it up and then said «I don’t mean to make you mad…» Well, the best way to not make a customer mad is to not argue with them. She either could have gone to check on the item I was talking about, or taken my word for it at $ 1.25!
It seems that their customer service has declined greatly in the last six months. This is sad because their prices are higher than most stores, so now where is the payoff? Looks like I will be heading across town. I know the customer service at the other store is equally good/​bad but I won’t be paying more for the same type of service.

The store is in pretty good shape, employees are good, but you can sure tell the difference between the union represented stores and this non-​union store. The Union made Raleys a better place and it shows up in attitude. The Lake Blvd location is kinda scary with all the meth panhandlers casing the parking lot

I want to give a shout out to the Pharmacy. They have always been friendly, courteous, and go the extra mile. The Pharmacists are always available to answer questions, go over your medication with you, discuss any conflicts it may have with other meds, and let you know how to take your meds. The Pharmacy Techs & clerks try to answer & trouble shoot health insurance issues or contacting your doctor. They also try to remember your name & help out in anyway they can. I live south of Redding & started using them when I used to live up that way, it’s been over 15 years & I’m not switching. It’s worth it to me!!!

Love the staff! Great customer service from all. Great selection too.

My fiancé and I came in from out of state, and the store looked a bit questionable on outward appearance alone. I’m so glad we went in because we had been driving all day and needed a personable pick-​me-​up, which is exactly what we got from Stephen in the deli. This probably sounds like it was written by his grandmother, but that kid was so incredibly kind and uplifting! His work ethic and effort were great to see from such a young man, but the main take-​away was his genuine niceness. We hope Stephen gets a promotion soon because he’s got his head in the right place.
Everyone else seemed very kind and engaging as well, and we were pleasantly surprised by the large selection of items overall, but the amount of quality, organic, and healthy items were a pleasant surprise as well.
We wish we could’ve filled out a comment card in person to give major props to Stephen and the gang, but those weren’t available sadly. However, thanks for the overall outstanding experience!

I come here quite often, but almost only for perishable foods. Yes, there are a lot of bums and Shasta Countiers loitering around the parking lot — especially after dark. This Raleys gets pretty crowded during the late morning to late afternoons — usually with senior citizens — but there are few shoppers between 8:00 to 10:00 PM.
That said, Raleys has great prices for USDA choice beef. The pork and poultry is also of good quality and frequently at great sale prices. The produce department is priced above average for the most part, but the selection is very good for a market this size. I recommend buying seasonal and during sales. The produce quality is above the echelons of Safeway or Winco, though I have bought some less-​than fresh produce that appeared good at quick glance. You should take your time to pick out the best. The cheeses and other dairy selection is good, but prices far exceed equal or better dairy groceries from Trader Joes. I’ve never bought from the deli, but it doesn’t strike me as being an improvement on Safeway’s deli.
Regular, non-​perishable groceries are too expensive for the most part. I recommend buying non-​perishable goods here when they are on sale — if you don’t already get them somewhere else. The organic section is great for a supermarket, but Orchard Nutrition on Locust St has more natural-​food options at equal or better prices. The bulk-​food aisle at Raley’s is disappointing compared to Winco, but there are some good buys in there during sales.
Overall, Raleys is a good option for meats and produce and usually too expensive for dairy and non-​perishable groceries.

Really people, 5 stars? You cannot go to this store without being hit up by one of the many tweaking-​panhandlers in the area. I do not feel safe heading to this store alone, day or night. Groceries are far overpriced for everyday items.
The only pros in my opinion are the expensive yet well selected produce department and the health food section.

This is by far the BEST grocery store in Redding! They have a huge selection, nice people, the store is very clean, the deli is aweseome, and they have a dedicated section of organic and healthy foods that is second to none except for maybe Trader Joe’s. I highly recommend Raleys, it is my go-​to grocery store since I moved down the hill from Shingletown to Redding.

I love LOVE this store! especially the people who work there, they seem really happy, everyone is so nice and I can tell that they really care about their customers. The Natural Foods dept is awesome and their produce is the prettiest in town. Their director Bill is always smiling and makes everyone feel welcome, it’s a wonderful, place to shop

Great sandwiches

Love this grocery store, they may be a little pricier but I love that it’s one of the only places that carries all the things/​brands I love! They have such a friendly staff and are always helpful. Also they just started carrying Peets coffee in the Café, total bonus.

Raley’s offers a greater variety of goods than other grocery stores, but it is also more expensive than them as well. The employees are always really helpful and friendly though and the store is always organized and clean.
However, this five-​star rating is only for the reason I come to Raley’s almost once every week – for their great bakery and, most importantly, for their monstrous cinnamon rolls! These babies are my favorite in Redding, and you can get three giant ones in a pack for only $ 3.50 ($ 2.99 when it’s on sale). These cinnamon rolls are slathered with a large helping of their gooey, delicious cream cheese frosting – just the way cinna rolls should be and the reason why I love them! I’ve never eaten one without baking it a little in the toaster oven; that is the best way to get the frosting to spread into all the nooks and crannies and create a cinnamon gooeyness inside.
The Raley’s cinna rolls at Hartnell are much smaller and dinkier than the ones at the Lake Blvd. Raley’s so go to the Lake Blvd. one if you dare to buy these dangerous goodies. And all ye with a weak pancreas– beware! These are for the cinna-​roll snobs who believe it’s better when it’s bigger :)

Was in town and looking for grits and as I was confused about where to locate them, an employee asked me immediately if they could help me find something. I love it when an employee sees someone looking lost and addresses it! Yippee and good for you, Raley’s!

this is the best grocery store in redding the people that work there are all really nice there food selection is top notch the store is really clean and there meat, produce, deli and bakery have some of the best to offer as far quality, price and selection
