GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, extreme-value grocery retailer, has officially opened its newest location at 1550 HWY 99 in Gridley.

In addition, the store has created 30 new jobs in the community and will be providing big savings on name brand, high quality merchandise for its local consumers.

Grocery Outlet offers the same trusted brands as traditional grocery stores, but at lower prices. Its buyers scour the country to find the top manufacturers with excess inventory and seasonal closeouts so Grocery Outlet can offer “WOW savings” on thousands of name-brand products at significantly lower prices. Grocery Outlet stores are independently operated by local families who are committed to supporting their communities.

“I am overjoyed to be a part of the Gridley community and be able to provide big savings on quality groceries,” said Billy Quenga. “This partnership with Grocery Outlet gives me the ability to grow my business, create new jobs and more importantly, give back to my local community.”

Grocery Outlet independent operator Billy Quenga presented $500 donations each to local nonprofits, including VFW Post 5731 to support veterans and the Gridley, Live Oak and Biggs Future Farmers of America (FFA).
