King’s Supermarket, a neighborhood grocery store at 400 El Camino Ave. in Old North Sacramento, is changing hands. State records show that Mukhtar Yehya is taking over the store, which is listed under the new name Sacramento Food Center, with the transfer currently pending.
Nothing has been announced about changes to the store’s offerings or when the handover will take place. The new business will continue to sell beer, wine and spirits for off-site consumption, according to its application.
The store sits in a retail center built in 1957 with about 41,600 square feet of space on roughly 3 acres. The center includes King’s Supermarket and Beto’s Taqueria, and it has frontage on El Camino Avenue and several nearby streets. The area is a dense residential neighborhood about 1.5 miles from Interstate 80, near other shops including Grocery Outlet and Starbucks.
The supermarket was taken over by its most recent owner, Sam Alkakos, in May 2025, so this is the second ownership change in about 18 months. King’s Supermarket is also a California WIC-authorized vendor, which allows families to use the WIC card for approved foods such as milk, eggs, cheese and produce. It’s unclear whether the new owner will keep the WIC program.
The store has served the North Sacramento area for years, and the new name suggests a fresh start under new management.
