Extreme-value grocery retailer Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is working with suppliers to source 100 percent cage-free eggs for all of its locations by 2025, based on available supply.
“Many Grocery Outlet stores serve underserved populations who regularly experience food insecurity. Our first obligation is to these customers, and we are committed to providing them wholesome, quality food in the most cost-effective manner,” said Grocery Outlet Bargain Market, co-CEO of the Emeryville, California-based company. “However, animal welfare is extremely important to us, and that’s why Grocery Outlet is setting a goal of working with its suppliers to transition to cage-free eggs by 2025.”
Grocery Outlet says it will work with its suppliers to provide customers with “a safe, abundant supply along with prices that remain affordable and accessible.”
Grocery Outlet says it offers name-brand products with prices 40 to 70 percent less than traditional grocery stores. It carries fresh produce, fresh meat, organics, dry groceries, refrigerated and frozen foods, beer and wine, as well as health and beauty care. The third-generation, family-led company founded in 1946 has 250 locations in California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington.
