Founded in 1935 by Tom Raley in Placerville, Raley's employs around 13,400 workers today. Headquartered in West Sacramento, California, Raley's is the dominant supermarket operator in the Sacramento metropolitan area with over a third of the market.

Supermarket News ranked Raley's No. 38 in the 2009 "Top 75 North American Food Retailers" based on 2008–09 fiscal year estimated sales of $3.4 billion.[2]

Raley’s continues to rank among the nation’s top supermarket chains, according to readers of Consumer Reports. In 2009, the company received highest marks for customer service.[3]

Readers of Sacramento Magazine again named Raley's and Bel Air the 'Best Grocery Store' and the 'Best Place to Buy Fruits and Veggies' in the November 2009 Best Of Sacramento issue.[4]

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded Raley’s Supermarket in Tracy, California with a GreenChill Partnership Gold-Level Certification for innovative green refrigeration technology, the company's third store to achieve this honor.[5]
