Raley’s

Matthew in the deli opened up & mixed a fresh kale cashew salad from the back for me when i saw there wasnt any in the display case & asked about it. I drove all the way there specifically for that salad thank you matthew thats what im tapkin about!

Raley’s has the best selection of natural products if you don’t want to venture to whole foods or you need to do more shopping than the co op can provide. They have the full line of Organic Valley dairy products that I LOVE. They also have numerous isles devoted to gluten free and/​or minimally processed foods.
The organic produce is still mostly from Mexico and since I’d rather have local the Co Op is my go to place.
They do seem to be the most expensive grocery store but the selection and convenience are worth it.

New remodel looks very refreshing! The aisles are clean again and it feels welcoming.
Walking past the bakery the display cases could be more attractive. Self serve is easier to have when you do not have staff to help with an item in the case.
Floral area has a good variety of planted flowers as well as the typical store cut flowers.
The self serve checkouts have a very attentive helper! She was there before I even knew there was a problem. Check out was a breeze.

What can I say, I absolutely love shopping at Raley’s! I don’t care that their prices are a tad higher than other stores. The atmosphere and clientele is exquisite and relaxing. You can find things easily, the staff are polite and professional, their meat and produce are fresh, and I love that I can call ahead and request cuts of meat to be packaged and marinated for free! They rock :)

I really like shopping at Raleys. While it can be a little on the spendy side you can always buy the «rayleys» brand to save a little bit of money. I really love their organic and health food section. I find most everything I need there. One thing I think the store is missing is a small homeopathic remedies section with essential oils and stuff like that. They have a really nice bakery. I bought some bagels the other day, they were very tasty! They even have a guy in there making sushi rolls! On the side of the deli they have a little sandwich place I’ve been wanting to try. One of these days I’ll get over that way and write a review about it! :)
The fresh produce section has a pretty good variety of fruits and veggies. I bought some purple cauliflower that I can’t wait to steam up. Purple is my favorite color!
The employees are pretty nice and work diligently to keep up the store and keep the shelves stocked.

Fine foods and a clean well kept grocery store. I can always find the gluten free products that i need for my son. It is pricey but it is nice to know that 99% of the things I need will not be out of stock like they are quite often at Walmart grocery and other grocery stores.
The produce is fresh and there is a large amount of organic produce. They always have a great variety of tomatoes and I can always find awesome heirloom tomatoes there in the summer.
They have an amazing cheese selection and if you know me I LOVE my cheese. I can always find something great here. It doesn’t have the variety and stock that you will find at Wedge Cheese shop or Whole Foods but I can usually find a triple cream brie that is pretty awesome.
Their wine selection is good too and if you buy six or more you get a discount. Love Raleys. Because of this store I don’t have to go to Whole Foods very often.

Raley’s is my go to grocery store. It’s only about 2 miles from my house so suffice to say I’ve been a loyal customer for the 12-​years I’ve been living in Sparks. Proximity isn’t the only reason I shop here, I really like this store. The checkers and baggers are very courteous and pleasant and they have a good selection of brands. You can’t even compare their bakery/​deli to a store like Wal-​Mart, Raley’s’ selection is so much better. Their produce is also excellent and their health food section is huge. I typically get lost amongst the hundreds of different natural beverages and healthy snack foods.
If I have a gripe with Raley’s it would be their prices. They’re kinda high. But… I don’t mind paying the higher prices when I get fresher higher quality foods and good customer service. Which leads me to my next gripe. I expect to have to use self check at Save Mart, it goes with the territory. But when I’m paying Raley’s’ prices I don’t want to have to ring up and bag my own stuff. It’s irritating. If I’m buying only one or two items okay, but anything over that I want some customer service. Beyond that I would have to say Raley’s is a pretty great supermarket.

Because I was on my phone, and blindly following my mom to guide me, I didn’t realize what grocery store I was in. When I walked in, I noticed the air conditioning. They have the place kept cool, and it was sweltering outside. The décor looks new and their products are fully stocked. They had some good Muzak on. I found out I was in a Raley’s and I thought, sweet place.

Horribly overpriced and their self check out lanes are ridiculously small and flag every other item for assistance. I just cant get over how expensive this grocery store is!!! Will find someplace else for sure during our stay in Reno!

After dealing with very rude, and uncaring pharmacy staff at Walmart, my Dr. had to call my prescription in Raleys. when I arrived I was having a lot of pain and the staff here was so nice to me and had already started to get my prescription ready for me. I had just had a surgical procedure and my original prescription had been faxed to Walmart. when I got to walmart the woman was very rude and stated their fax lines had been down for a few minutes and my order hadn’t come through. I explained how important it was to have my mediaction and it was now after 5:00. She very rudely said «to bad, call your Dr. in the morning». I could not believe they could be so rude to a customer. I was very happy and impressed with Raleys pharmacy staff. For now on I will continue to go to Raleys

pretty much the same store it was four years ago when I last wrote a review.
we do not go here much now since we now live in the other side of reno.
well we were in the neighborhood and my sister wanted to get a couple of steaks for her husband and she for dinner.
So as we were wandering around I look at a variety of things and am just amazed at the prices.
one small piece of cake not a whole, half or even a quarter of a cake and they are asking $ 7.50. one must really like cake to pay such a price. I can make a nice big cake that tastes much better for that price. So we are still wandering and I am still being shocked. We get to the fish counter which seems pretty full of fish, it all looked a bit wrinkled like has been there a while, who knows. But what I want to know what do you folks do with all the fish no one is buying because of the ridiculous per pound prices, toss it out the back for the stray cats?
If not for the prices it would be a fine store.
Check out guy was stepford nice… spooky.

It seems like almost every time I go here, the workers just seem inconvenienced by you stepping foot into the store. One in particular, I believe her name was Angie, or something close to that. She checked me out, and seemed absolutely miserable. Not only to be there, but possible to even be alive. And me being myself, and trying to kill em with kindness, really seemed to just put her over the edge. Not saying that I won’t ever go back here, but I think some of these employees could at least fake a smile once in a while.

I have been shopping here since we moved to sparks, I have to give credit where it is due. Customer service here is second to none! I have shopped at numerous places here in sparks and Reno, and have to say the staff here are the most courteous and nice. I shop here for that reason! keep up the good work!

I have read a few of the other reviews, and I can agree that the store does not fit the «normal» gorcery store set up. Things can be hard to find if you don’t already know where they are located. But, the employees are always nearby and are more than willing to help you find something.
The prices are a little on the high side for most things, but the produce is out of this world, the meats are great, and the general look of the store is high end. Plus, they have a huge variety of wines and beers, as well as independent sodas that you don’t normally see around.
They also have an internet capability for ordering called Raleys Ecart (just look that up). On this site, you pick out what you want and build your virtual grocery list. Then, you submit this list and pick a time you want to pick it up. When it’s your time, just drive into the eCart lane, press the button, and they bring your groceries out to your car, load them up for you, swipe your credit card, and your done! It has saved my family from picking up random things that we «need» while walking around the store.
Finally, if you purchase more than $ 50, you get $.10 off a gallon of gas. More than $ 100, you get $.25 off a gallon, and more than $ 150 you will get $.50 off a gallon of gas! And their normal prices aren’t all jacked up either. If the lowest in Reno/​Sparks is $ 4.00/gal, Aisle 1 will probably be at $ 4.05. We usually order online through the eCart, pick up the groceries, then go to the gas station and fill up.

The grosherey is fantastic. The Bakerey and Caffe/​Delli items are below average.
The checkout staff is exceptional. The produce is great and the selection is better than most groceries. The natural food section has a lot of hard to find items at decent prices. It has saved me many trips across town to Whole Foods. If I can’t find something unique for baking like dried currents or alternative flours for example, Raley’s will save the day.
Unfortunately, their bakery items are consistently dry and lack flavor. We have had decent luck with their cakes but other every day items are disappointing. The sandwiches have gone downhill recently. Do not order anything with avocado on it! They squeeze it out of a pouch. Ick! I can’t tell you how gross that stuff is. The bacon is dry, pale and flavorless. I had to throw out my last sandwich because it tasted so awful.
If you want a latte or a hot cocoa on the run this is not the place. The last few times the person operating the espresso machine seemed like they had no idea what they were doing. I recently had to give up b/​c I waited over 15 minutes while the employee tried to figure out how to make drinks for the two people in line in front of me. Coffee at Raley’s is convenient and I don’t expect an exceptional brew but if I have to wait a long time it doesn’t even have convenience going for it. You would be better off hitting the drive through at Starbucks next door.
We like buying groceries here but the other parts of the store need at lot of improvement.

This is a nice clean store. Not sure about the way they organized it. Very confusing for my first time in this store. A big selection of products, not just food. They carry many other items as well. Their selection is not as big as a Wal-​mart, but they do have more misc items than a Safeway.
I only stopped in because I was driving by and needed to pick up few things for a Pot Luck at work the next day. The prices are pretty good if you find things you want on sale, otherwise they are a little more than other places, but the quality is there. The great thing about the sales here is you do not need a card to get the sales price. For this I will watch their sales mailing more.

Good quality stuff and the prices are reasonable. I’m tired of other supermarkets that offer such poor quality stuff.

The staff here is so nice! The store is always clean and pleasant.

This review isn’t really for the Raley’s store. After all, if you’ve been to one major chain supermarket, you’ve pretty much seen them all.
This review is for the selection of vegetarian and organic foods available at this Raley’s — very good! Just as good as what I find at Whole Foods/​Wild Oats — lots of organic veggies and fruits and a very good dedicated section for non-​meat specialty items (Amy’s, Boca, Morningstar, rice milk, soy cheese, etc). And for less than I pay at WF/​WO (not to mention less gas to get there).
If you live in the North area of Reno/​Sparks, and have difficulty finding decent organic foods and vegetarian items, give this store a look.
