About Grocery Outlet
Retail-Grocery Stores, SIC 5411
Grocery Outlet is an extreme value retailer that sells name-brand consumables, fresh products, and everyday staples at steep discounts. Sourced opportunistically from manufacturer overruns, packaging changes, and excess inventory, its merchandise includes groceries, produce, refrigerated and frozen items, beer and wine, fresh meat and seafood, health and beauty products, general merchandise, and private label goods. The company operates through a network of small-box retail stores primarily managed by independent operators, who select merchandise, handle daily operations, and deliver localized customer service. Its value proposition targets bargain-minded shoppers across diverse income levels and demographics.
The company's retail network encompasses 570 stores across sixteen U.S. states, including California, Washington, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Idaho, Nevada, Maryland, Ohio, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Delaware, Kentucky, and Virginia. The majority of these locations are run by independent operators, alongside 41 company-operated stores. Its physical infrastructure also includes nine primary distribution centers. Grocery Outlet is headquartered in Emeryville, California.
