Raley’s to Shutter Two Food Source Stores

While Raley's is set to close two of its value-driven Food Source stores in the first quarter, the grocer is looking ahead to three store openings in early 2020.

The retailer, which has struggled to succeed with the small-format concept, has shuttered another "pantry" location in favor of a newly opened 90,000-square-foot store.

Lidl, Compare Foods and McKay’s are identified as the buyers as the distributor's lengthy wind down of the Shoppers chain continues.

The retailer rolls out a multimillion-dollar growth plan for south Austin—a market it already dominates.

A facilities redesign reportedly puts warehouse—and stores—“several years out,” but local sources still expect the fast-growing discounter to arrive in the state.

Denver's Choice Market is set to "supercharge" its dining and shopping experience when it opens its third hybrid grocery store in April 2020.

Specialty food grocer The Fresh Market has announced plans to expand its Greensboro, N.C., headquarters operations, adding 53 jobs and investing $5.4 million in the city.
