Raley's has to stock plenty of fresh fruit and great wines -- it sells to the people that produce them. The company operates about 135 supermarkets and larger-sized superstores, mostly in Northern California, but also in Nevada and New Mexico. In addition to its flagship Raley's Superstores, the company operates Bel Air Markets, Nob Hill Foods (an upscale Bay Area chain), and a discount warehouse chain, Food Source. Raley's stores typically offer groceries, natural foods, liquor, and pharmacies. Readers of Consumer Reports named Raley's the #1 supermarket chain in the US in 2000. Founded during the Depression by Tom Raley, the company is owned by Tom's daughter Joyce Raley Teel.
