Raley’s to close Brentwood store, eliminating 51 jobs

Raley's filed with the state labor agency to close its 2400 Sand Creek Road supermarket in Brentwood, a closure the company told the Employment Development Department will eliminate 51 jobs. The company said the cuts are permanent and are scheduled to take effect on Nov. 3, 2026. The article also notes prior planned closures by Raley's, including an Antioch store that would eliminate 43 jobs in late April, and separate Nob Hill Foods closures in Mountain View (50 jobs) and Los Gatos (date and job count unknown). The Brentwood store shutdown is presented as a company-planned, permanent reduction tied to store closures rather than a temporary furlough or industry-wide action.

Raley's disclosed this layoff in an official WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) notice recorded by the CA state workforce agency on August 27, 2026. The notice covers 51 employees in Brentwood, CA (Contra Costa County), with the layoff effective November 3, 2026.

That is roughly 0.4% of the 14,000 people Raley's employs.
