Raley’s will shutter four more stores, bringing its 2026-2027 total to seven. The closures are part of a broader industry pullback that includes Kroger and Albertsons.
Raley’s confirmed Monday it will close three California locations and one Nevada store over the coming months, bringing the total number of Raley’s-branded closures in 2026 and early 2027 to seven.
The West Sacramento-based grocer previously shut a Nob Hill Foods store in Mountain View and Raley’s locations in Roseville and Antioch earlier this year. The new closures include a Raley’s in Elko, Nev., slated for December, and a Nob Hill Foods in Los Gatos due to close by next June. Two more Raley’s stores, in Brentwood and Petaluma, Calif., will also shut, a spokesperson told Supermarket News.
“This is not part of a larger downsizing effort,” the spokesperson said. “We are evaluating stores on their performance continually.” The company blamed local market conditions and a lack of “long-term financial sustainability” for the decisions. It also plans to open a new store in Madera, Calif., in March 2027.
Other traditional grocers are making similar cuts. Kroger (KR) said last June it would close 60 stores by year-end. Albertsons (ACI) cut 26 locations last year and has continued closings in 2026. Grocery Outlet plans to shut 36 stores, including nine in Southern and Central California. Save Mart closed two Lucky Supermarkets in Danville and San Francisco. O’Brien’s Market, a two-store independent operator in Modesto, said it would close both locations after 49 years, citing the pandemic’s lingering effects.
Raley’s, a third-generation family-owned company, operates under The Raley’s Cos., which also owns the Bashas’ Family of Stores. The combined group runs 235 locations across six states.
