Raley’s/Bel Air
Multiple locations; www.raleys.com

One supermarket is pretty much like another, right? Not to the legions of Raley’s and Bel Air fans in the Sacramento region. This local, family-owned chain based in West Sac is known for its excellent customer service and for its top-notch produce and meat departments. Stores are large, clean and well laid-out, with wide aisles (no shopping cart traffic jams here) and a comprehensive selection of food, pharmacy and hardware items.
