Raley’s has converted two in-store cafes to Starbuck’s kiosks, including its store on Natomas Boulevard in Sacramento, California, and the Raley’s location in Incline Village, Nevada.
Over the last five years, Raley’s has invested in its spaces where the community gathers, including community rooms, cafes and beer/wine bars.
“Raley’s is excited about our collaboration with Starbucks,” said Krissy Garris, director of food service at Raley’s.
“Starbuck’s brings a wealth of expertise and resources that complement our core strengths of in-store beverage and dining offerings. The Starbuck’s name is synonymous with quality and consistency and together, we can address market challenges more comprehensively and provide even greater value to our customers.”
