"The store has been serving customers since 1946 and now has more than 500 stores across the United States. It's not as widespread as other grocery stores, but it still makes its presence known to around 1.5 million customers every week. Unlike the average grocery store, Grocery Outlet focuses on marked-down items; it all started when the founder, Jim Read, began selling extremely discounted military surplus at his first store."
"But the items change, and you can't expect to go into a store as your one-stop shop. Sometimes there's not a lot of bread choices (maybe there's only whole wheat, and you are looking for sourdough), or they're a little too close to the best-by date, where you know you're not going to get a lot of use out of it before it starts to mold."
Grocery Outlet operates as a discount grocery chain with over 500 stores and roughly 1.5 million weekly customers. The chain centers on marked-down items, tracing its origins to discounted military surplus sold by founder Jim Read. Product assortment varies widely between stores and visits, so availability of specific staples can be limited. Perishable items sometimes sit close to their best-by dates and produce quality can be inconsistent. Shoppers should expect bargains but not rely on the store for complete, one-stop grocery runs, and should plan to accept variable selection when hunting deals.
