Raley’s

This Raley’s supermarket at Folsom Blvd is not a bad place at all! After numerous visits, I totally rely for this well-​known supermarket, and it’s one of my 5 favorite Raley’s supermarket that I really enjoyed of. The atmosphere is quite elegant and friendly here. The concept is much contemporary made which it did remodeled their interior few years ago.
The employees are doing a fantastic job for making the customers like me a wonderful, supportive service. No cons at all!
Every aisle at this supermarket from produce, dairy, meats, essentials, and everyday ingredients are very clean and tidy which I can find and buy any grocery items that I want to buy. The pharmacy area is well arranged and supportive, so you can get the actual Rx’s available. Finally, the hot wok, deli, bakery and the café are very delicious and eatable to eat. I tried their ham sandwich here few years ago, and it tasted so good! Totally flavorful!
There’s plenty of parking spaces available, so you can park anywhere you want without the hassles.
In the end, Raley’s at Folsom Blvd is the finest supermarket that I’ve ever visited for the past several years. A worthy visit. My rating: 4 solid stars.

Well stocked and big. Roomy isles. Pretty clean inside, but the parking lot is a mess. Looks like it’s never been cleaned.

I started shopping here about a month and a half ago because I was just fed up with the Safeway on Folsom which is less than a mile from me.
Raley’s is about 5 miles away from me. I’ve shopped different Raley’s in the past and they are a tad more expensive but not like whole foods expensive.
I’ve found this location to be very clean, staff are very friendly and helpful. I normally get fresh deli meat as opposed to packaged because they will slice it super thin just the way I like it. I’ve dealt with probably 5 different people in the deli section and every one of them were super friendly and polite. I’ll continue to do my shopping here and just leave the «I need this now» things for Safeway since it’s closer.

So Raleys advertises they make sandwiches… I arrived at 6:44pm for 4 sandwiches off menu. The first clerk made the man in front of me a sandwich. She then turned to me and said «hold for a sec» and never came back. Then I at 7:07 a girl comes up starts to take my order and says, «you can’t have menu sandwich off menu in a 12 inch size.» I say ok give me a 12 inch with the same thing. She can’t do that either cause they are out of bread and it’s not allowed. Ok did I just step into the twlight zone!!! Am I being punked? So she proceeds to make me sandwiches with extras cause she can do that but there is no bread. Then she makes them it’s now 7:15 and she just finished with 1 of the 4 sandwiches I need. OMG! I’m going to be stuck in Raley hell forever! Why advertise you have a deli if the idea is to deter people from using it? How the hello do you run out of bread at a dang deli? Isn’t that the point? A sandwich I’m here for a sandwich!!! Ugh this place needs to shut down and reevaluate. I am a working mother with kids in sports I need to be able to go get a sandwich made a s buy groceries at the same dang time. Make it easy, efficient and calm for me. I should not come in stressed and leave with dang near a heart attack because of incompetence.

There are fruit flies all over some of the fruit and tomatoes. I picked up a bag of tomatoes only for them to be well over-​ripe and insects buzzing around it. Gross.

This review is strictly for the deli sandwiches. I love Raley’s the staff are professional and the store is clean. I am super bummed on all the changes they made to the deli sandwiches why change a good thing. The Bread Is now a lower quality the pickles are the tiny hamburger ones and the sauces are a little different now. The good old Santa Cruz and El Dorado those all stood out and made them different from the other normal sandwich chains don’t change to be more like them. Raley’s should go back to the fresh good ingredients and sandwiches that everyone loved. I work in an office building with about 3000 employees near a Raley’s and believe me people notice the sub par ingredients now it makes the choice between Subway or Raley’s easy when Subway is closer. Sorry Raley’s this hurts I always told people about your sandwiches now I have nothing to brag about.

I love my store. It was my birthday and the bagger Ronnie was sooooo kind and sweet to me. He melted my heart. Thank you Ronnie.

Convenient location on Folsom blvd and next to my new gym. Makes it easier to get the workout in and jog over to get a few things for meal prepping ! The place looks a bit run down along with the Parking lot out front … Sometimes I see sketchy characters hangin around out by the door. They have a peets coffee inside and Wells Fargo ATMs and redbox and a post office service station. This place could really use a face lift.

I want to give Raley’s a big shout out for their Real Good produce program. Food magazine cover model produce are as rare as cover models among all us regular people. Just because a pepper or pear doesn’t look picture perfect ideal doesn’t mean it is less tasty or nutritious. But these less than picture perfect produce often gets picked out when packed for stores. Raley’s is testing out a program at a limited number of stores (the Folsom Blvd. is one), where they sell produce that looks more like us regular folks at a discount.
Food waste is a huge problem and there is just no reason why we need to have picture perfect produce all the itme. Come on people, go buy some of this regular looking produce and show that we are willing to reduce food waste at the farm. Support and applaud this effort and tell Raley’s to spread to all the other stores.
So far, they’ve offered plums, pears, red bell peppers in the Real Good produce bins. I’ve sought these out and they have not disappointed. The Real Good produce bins are over by the door at the freezer end of this store.

Pharmacy and front checkouts are super slow. ‘Slow’ cashiers. LOL!!! Don’t even think about self-​check. If you made a mistake it takes forever for someone to come help you unless they think you are stealing. Brienne of Tarth works there. She’s never friendly though. Not a lot of people are friendly at this store… Sad that this is the only store in my neighborhood. Bring me a Nugget!!! Nuggets are the best!

This review is for the bakery.
I got to the bakery at 7:50 pm to get a cake. I understand that I was one of those customers that come in last minute and pisses everyone off, however I really wanted a cake.
The bakery posts that it closes at 8pm so I asked a guy for a cake. He then proceeded to ask what time the girl next to him gets off, and she replied 8pm. Then he turns to me and says «Oh sorry, there’s no one here to help you.» I then told him that the bakery does not close til 8, so how is that possible. To which he replied, «Oh, that person left early.» How can your bakery person leave before the posted closing time Raleys? Are you paying attention to your workers?
So then I asked him who I can speak to about this and that’s when the lady decides that she was going to help me out. She got the cake out and tagged it, and I was able to leave at 7:58pm. Before the posted time. If she had helped me I could have been put even sooner.
So no. I will not buy another cake from Raleys.
And here’s a tip Raleys, pay attention to your workers.

Raley’s bakery was once excellent but not now. I just wanted a simple design on the cake and was told I had to call the cake decorator in the morning. I did and was put on hold for 15 minutes before I hung up as I had to get back to work. Maybe they need a new manager– one who has better people skills. Next cake will be from Safeway or Freeport.

More pricey than I was expecting. Safeway has better prices! Good selection of food, though. But won’t be coming back.

Among other items, I bought (on a whim) ONE 14 oz can of Murphy’s stout beer (no price on the cooler but how expensive can one beer be???) Upon getting home, discovered I was charged for 4 crv returnables and $ 8.59 for the ONE beer.
I know that Everywhere else in the country 4 (FOUR) packs of this canned stout are averaging about $ 8 – 9 dollars for a FOUR pack or about $ 2 + PER CAN.
I could not believe this so I did an online chat with customer service and YES Raley’s charges FOUR times as much as any other retailer in the country for this product SO I learned a very important lesson which is as follows;
I can only deduce from this is that the Raley’s business model includes targeting the unsuspecting customer by intentionally not pricing some things. The average person (unwittingly) buys these things at prices way above the average cost and at a HUGE markup. BE CAREFUL ! If it is not marked, call an employee and ask to have the price checked!

This is a beautiful grocery store. Very friendly staff, great selection, lots of organics, food quality is lovely, and their member rewards program is awesome!

Good prices, quality product, fresh stuff, Peete’s Coffee here, delicious little barista spot, clean, always have good product here. Hidden in a neighborhood environment, but well worth having.

Great restaurant. The food was great I had the quesadilla and the grilled chicken inside was excellent. I will definitly come back.

Terrible Terrible Terrible. The produce is not fresh. See attached photos. Most of the produce is wilting, brown, and rotting. If I am paying $ 3 for a bunch of basil and $ 1.98 for 1 avocado it damn well better be good, and not on the verge of spoiling. The store is constantly out of basics. Graniac Bread, Dave’s Killer Bread, Comfort Coop Eggs, Sunflower Seeds, Azumaya Lite Tofu, Bay Leaves, Men’s Razors, and the list continues. I went today at 4:00pm on a Thursday and there were two dozen eggs left. One was cracked and the other’s sell by date was three days ago. Way to go on the FIFO guys. Service is ranges from friendly to brusque. Friendly people will ramble on and banter with customers while their checkout lines are 5 people deep each. Brusque people will snatch coupons out of your hand and hurl your groceries down the lane.
Overall:
Either rude and fast service or friendly but slow service.
Horrendously overpriced EVERYTHING.
Spoiling, rotting produce.
Inventory control problems aka never having anything in stock.
Conclusion: Who is the QA for this store? Do you care?
I will be so happy when I move and this will no longer be the closest grocery store for me.

Huge gigantic amazing grocery store! I don’t pop in often, but when I do they always have what I need at a decent price. Friendly employees, and plentiful options, in a beautiful, well-​stocked and clean store. It’s a win/​win! If this were my local grocery store, I would be a happy camper!

Seen a announcement for Peet’s that they now serve Almond Milk so I went over for a Pumpkin Latte and asked. No such thing happening at this location, my pumpkin latte was ok nothing special just your normal with a pump of syrup. But don’t let me stop you from going and check it out.
Thanks Peet’s
