The Save Mart Companies has reopened its Maxx Value discount grocery store in Modesto, California, following a project designed to expand the warehouse-style location’s assortment and improve efficiency.
The Maxx Value store, which held a grand reopening on Wednesday, now features more expansive meat, deli, frozen and dairy sections as well as a larger variety of beer and Hispanic foods. The retailer said it made the changes to “better align offerings with customer needs.”
The 34,800-square-foot store in California’s Central Valley is designed to provide the same shopping experience as other locations under The Save Mart Companies’ FoodMaxx banner, but in a smaller space. It is located a short distance from the retailer’s headquarters, which is also in Modesto.
Formerly part of The Save Mart Companies’ namesake supermarket banner, the store originally opened in 2006 and was converted to the Maxx Value format in 2012. It is the only Maxx Value location the grocery company operates.
“This re-opening is a celebration of our customers and a thank-you to a community that’s supported us for generations. We want to continue to be a destination for value-minded shoppers and this store allows us to be exactly that,” Nicholas Chan, vice president of store operations at The Save Mart Companies, said in a statement
The reopening of the Maxx Value store comes at a time when rising food prices and economic uncertainty are top concerns for many people. The retailer recently unveiled a savings-focused initiative that includes the launch of a private label line of minimally processed meats, extra savings on certain items and free delivery until the end of 2025 on orders of at least $35.
The Save Mart Companies, which has been owned by The Jim Pattison Group of Canada since 2024, runs 191 stores in California and Nevada under banners including Save Mart, Lucky and FoodMaxx. The retailer also operates 11 Roth’s and Chuck’s Fresh Markets in Oregon and Washington.
