The Raley’s Companies, a West Sacramento-based grocery chain with deep roots in Northern California, has announced plans to close two stores. The closures add Raley’s to a growing list of retailers adjusting their footprints in 2026.
The Raley’s Companies to Close Stores in California
Raley’s will permanently close two California stores, according to The Street. The closures come as the grocery retailer decides against renewing leases at the two locations, citing store performance and economic pressures.
The Roseville store is scheduled to close on January 27, 2026, after serving the community for more than 34 years. The closure is expected to impact about 45 employees.
The second closure involves a Nob Hill Foods location in Mountain View. The shutdown will impact the lives of approximately 50 employees.
The Raley’s Companies is planning to assist nearly 95 employees affected by the sudden decision through relocation to other stores in the area.
Operations to Continue at Nearby Locations
The Raley’s Companies’ closure announcement for the Roseville store does not mean the grocery retailer will disappear from the area. The retail chain will continue to run many nearby locations and encourage California locals to shop at the following locations.
- 6845 Douglas Boulevard, Granite Bay, California
- 4008 Foothills Boulevard, Roseville, California
- 4051 Woodcreek Oaks Boulevard, Roseville, California
- 1039 Sunrise Avenue, Roseville, California
- 1970 Blue Oaks Boulevard, Roseville, California
Once the Nob Hill Foods store closes, Raley’s will no longer operate a location in that immediate area.
Raley’s Joins Growing List of 2026 Retail Closures
Even early into 2026, retailers are continuing to announce store closures nationwide, with The Raley’s Companies being the newest name on the list.
Prior to the grocery retailer, Macy’s Inc. announced plans to shut down roughly 14 outlets across the country. In addition, it is aiming to close around 150 U.S. locations in total by the end of 2026. The move stems from a restructuring strategy the company adopted in 2024 through which the retailer planed shuttering underperforming stores.
All American Signature Inc. is another prominent name in this backdrop. The 78-year-old furniture retailer is ready to close all of its stores as part of its ‘Going Out of Business Sale’ following a recent bankruptcy filing.
The announcement has drawn attention given Raley’s long history in the region, which goes back to 1935 when it opened its store for the first time. Since then, the family-owned grocery retailer from West Sacramento has grown to manage roughly 119 stores. These locations were primarily in Northern California and Nevada.
In 2021, the Bashas’ Family of Stores acquired the company, forming The Raley’s Companies. Currently, the grocery retail chain operates 235-plus locations under several banners spanning seven states and four Tribal Nations that employ over 20,000 people.
The closures highlight the continued pressure facing brick-and-mortar grocers across California. However, the grocery retailer is set to continue to serve the community through nearby stores and employee support programs.
