Raleys auctions off equipment from "dark store" in Sacramento

Post by storewanderer »

Raleys built a new store next to this old store in Sacramento and opened it in 2020. However they kept the old store open as a "dark store" to fulfill online orders and it was also open to Instacart/other delivery shoppers. My understanding is it was still open a few months ago and it had light but steady traffic. It appears they have decided to go ahead and shut down the "dark store" now.

It will be interesting to see what comes of this site. I thought the dark store concept was an interesting one for them to try and I am somewhat surprised they did not continue it. Unless they are auctioning everything off to do a remodel on the space to make it more automated or something.
