    Gotta say the staff here is top-notch they communicate with the customers on a pretty consistent basis while even walking through the aisles I imagine management requires it and they do a good job at it. Always something new to find in the store and a good deal took quite a few pictures of some good offers today. Check out moves relatively quickly. Places kept relatively clean. The shelves are constantly being restocked no matter what time of day I show up, which is usually after noon or 1 PM so if you're looking to get through to the store quicker show up after 10 AM instead and you can move around even faster. All in all good store great service prices win-win

    Neat, well stocked aisle

    I'm still so happy to say that I shop at Grocery Outlet (in Torrance) weekly and have found that it is STILL so well stocked, spotless and have happy, engaging staff members. I always find new delicious food items .. fresh meats, fish and produce. And the grocery aisles are full of everything you need and more. I always say it is just like shopping at a chain grocery store, but the prices are WAY better and the staff are friendly and personable. Nice music and very organized. And, I swear, the owners seem to be in the store 24/7 making sure everything is in place.

Download the app to see what's in store, get access to insider events, & digital offers, including a $5 off $25 coupon at registration. I was wondering what will take over the defunct S-Mart that's been sitting empty for a couple of years... Grocery Outlet. Yay! I was planning on attending their grand opening on 10/30/25, but missed it because I forgot to set a reminder on my calendar. =( I started going to Grocery Outlet in Lomita (refer to Review #866) after they replaced Big Lots last year; Torrance also feels a tad smaller. They're a discount grocery chain that sells name brand groceries & fresh produce for 40% - 70% less than conventional grocery stores. How? By buying overstocked, seasonal, closeout, & discontinued items from various suppliers. This "opportunistic buying" allows them to acquire items at significant discounts, which are passed on to us. I found some great deals on kitten/cat food: Wellness Appetizing Entrées Flaked Favorites: Tuna; Tuna & Cod; Tuna, Mackerel, & Shrimp; Tuna & Tilapia (62% cost savings), Reveal Kitten Chicken Recipe (73% cost savings), Merrick Backcountry Grain Free pouches. Some other deals: my fav ramen, A-Sha, was sold in convenient individual bowls at 77¢ & $1.49; Manitoba Milling Flax Milk 32 fl. oz. is only $1.49. I haven't seen Pier 33 or Santa Monica Seafood for salmon, or King Arthur All-Purpose Flour yet. A couple of weeks ago, I had a coupon that I tried to use at Lomita, not realizing that it's location specific (Torrance), & the cashier got an override from her supervisor & applied the discount. She shared that Grocery Outlet runs an independent operator model so prices & inventory vary from store to store, & coupons are typically store specific, especially if it's printed on the receipt. Store hours are 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM daily, just a couple hours shorter than the traditional stores. Wide aisles are well-stocked & organized, but I prefer Lomita's arrangement better. I found some great deals on my last couple of trips, partly due to the short expiration date, expiring within a week or two; check 'em dates. There's usually a couple of registers open so I rarely wait more than a couple of mins. before it's my turn. This is our preferred location because it's so close to home. So glad Grocery Outlet is finally here... welcome to the neighborhood!

    Newest grocery store in town! There's been several groceries that have been in the location. OG South Bay folks may remember a Lucky Grocery than Albertsons and then finally S-Mart. After S-Mart closed, it was a few years vacant and now finally Grocery Outlet is here! It's nice to have a bright, new grocery store at this corner location. They opened up with a bang with a giant Grand Opening celebration and now they're in full operation offering fresh groceries to the community. Welcome to the neighborhood!

    Brand new store in the old S*Mart Lot! Grand Opening today! The first 100 people in line got a Gift Card! The Gift Card I opened was worth $10. People also got one Reusable tote bag when they checked out, while supplies last. The Tote Bag was given with my purchases placed inside. I came for the Grand Opening. The store opened at 7AM, so I got there around 6:06 AM and there were already about 25-30 people in line already! They also had Coffee & Hot Chocolate from Corridor Flow available for us while we waited. I like Corridor Flow! It was very appreciated and nice to have it waiting for us! Thank you! I've been anticipating the opening! Everyone was very welcoming and the line to enter went quickly. I did some shopping because I love Grocery Outlet and wanted to see what the store looked like! The store is pristine & organized, just as it should be since this is a new business! I have been in a number of Grocery Outlet Bargain Market stores, and this one has the familiar look & feel as the other ones. However, I pretty much know the basic things they carry. Each store is independently owned & operated. This one is franchised by a father and daughter team. They also have a limited variety of items unique to their store each week. They aren't always advertised. I like to visit different stores to see what new thing I might find. Download their App. It's quite useful! I also received a digital coupon for $5 off $15 Minimum Purchase. I'll definitely be back here since it is closer to my house than the other two I frequent! Welcome to Torrance, Grocery Outlet!

    Welcome to Torrance! Such a great addition to what used to be S-Mart... was wondering what this would be and they hit the jackpot on location and all. The place is very clean, well organized and very friendly staff as soon as you enter. Loved that they had a table so you can enter raffle and get $5 off your $15 purchase and I scored some fun stuff for sure. Their produce is fresh, well organized and great prices as well. Near the produce area they had a small set up featuring their Chicken and had fresh tacos to sample with all the fixings and loved that little touch. They have a great Organic selection of items for fair prices. Love that they have a great selection of Mexican papayas and jicamas you sold me at that. Over all visit was great walked all the isles and it's a great store for all. I always love to grab my stuff here if I'm going to host people over cause you can't beat the great prices and it's just a few mins from my home. As I check out they had a free reusable bag love that little touch.. make sure to download the app for fun savings and scoring some great opportunities for free groceries for a year!

    My first time at this Grocery Outlet. They had some good sales. Not anything healthy that I picked out, but great prices. Customer service was great. The store was nicely organized. The cherries I bought were not sweet.

    I was so excited the grocery outlet store just opened up. Every location I go to has such a variety of snacks and food at a great price. I was especially excited at this location because they had gluten-free pita bread and a healthy Nutella that tastes like Nutella. The Service is really good and helpful and This place is brand new so it was very clean.

    This market is okay. It's about the nearest market around the area--so it's convenient for your quick stop. It carries most of the necessities you'd need for a quick run. We heard they had a grand opening, missed it, but decided to pay them a visit a week later. The store is pretty organized. The staff were nice and greeted us when we entered. Their prices are actually competitive. Not just because they had comparable prices posted in the store, but I can actually vouch that the prices here are a lot better. The same stuff I saw at a big retail store the day prior was sold here for much less. A lot of similar items as well, but some are not exact brands. They have off-brand names, and have cheaper items for folks that can afford it. It may not be your big box retail store or market BUT the store is decent and carry some specialty foods such as plant-based/vegetarian options. The reason why I gave them 3 stars is because, their produce was not fresh when I was here. They just opened, I assumed they'd have fresher rotation of food, but it seems it sat there. It either didn't sell and they're letting it sit until it sells or gets completely old, OR the vendor they get their food from is cheap in bulk or just not good quality. Their tomatoes were mushy, and almost going bad. No rotation of fresh produce put out, and it was a weekend. I know this is a family owned father-daughter business so I came here to support small local businesses. This used to be the Asian market, but now replaced with Grocery Outlet. I think this spot is a perfect location. I hope they sell well, and get a lot of business and local patrons overtime. I will come back again maybe at another time, but would not be my first choice.

They have a great selection of more out of the Country foods. We love their produce section. They have a good selection of organic as well as other produce. They also have a great frig section where I can get my garlic mashed potatoes ready to heat up. The bakery is not the best but fine. The deli is very good with a fine selection. The service is great. If there is an issue with an item they will take it back (need your receipt). They keep the carts out of the parking lot and easy to get to. The staff knows where everything is. They also have a great canned section and some cute dog toys.

    I will not be coming back to this Ralph's for a long while, or at all. I've been coming to this…read moreRalphs for years. Most of the staff knows me and are very friendly like family. I come here once a week to shop for myself and my elderly parents. I usually am rushed a do not have much time as my parents are alone at home. Last week Sunday, I noticed that they had installed some new security system on each entry and exit door at first it is not noticeable except that the lotto machines are enclosed now and hard to get to. I didn't think much of it at first. As I started shopping, I kept hearing the alarms go off very loudly throughout the store. It was annoying and hard to shop and concentrate on what I was getting, etc. The peaceful Store I knew was no longer peaceful. I finally made it to the cash register with my groceries. I usually spend over $ 300-400 here. As I started to reach the exit doors, I realized I couldn't play my lotto that I get for my parents the machine was closed off by metal bars. I was told to go around and enter again with my cart so I did .. I got my lotto ticket and proceeded to go back out where I came through because again the doors are enclosed so I couldn't go through the exit door because I couldnt it is blocked off the alarms went off and was told to make a U-turn and go through the store and out the exit door. I was approached by the manager that is always very unfriendly and seems to hate his job because he walks around like a zombie with no emotion and no expression and never greets anyone in the store that I've noticed throughout the years Ive gone there ... I was followed by him, but he never said a word to me. I then said to him what is the best way to get out of here he said through the self checkout, but I noticed the self checkout was packed with people in line. He then asked me what aisle did I purchase my items through and I said aisle nine I found an aisle that was empty and went through there to get to the exit door as I went through the exit door my cart wheels locked. I was treated like a thief and felt so embarrassed and betrayed by the Store that knows me for years and years . I was approached by one of the workers that used his remote to unlock my wheels. I'm sure the Manager locked my wheels as he didn't believe that I had paid for my items. I will not be coming back here. I felt that I was treated unfairly like a thief after so many years of coming to the store . I will take my Business else where . I will miss the workers as they are very kind, and always concerned about me and my Family.

You go in for what you know, and that already gets you caught up, but then you also want to try something new because there's always something new to try. Sometimes it's a gamble, sometimes it's amazing and you're like "OMG! I need this every time," and sometimes you're like "what was that?" And you really don't know what it was because the descriptions aren't in English. The staff is always super friendly. If you go for hot food during lunchtime, you will get caught up because you'll want to pile your plate high and forget they weigh it & you can easily end up with a $24 plate on top of all your groceries. They have great sweet treats that aren't super high in sugar, which is a plus. Their ramens are my favorite. I've probably tried every one. My favorite is the one with the black pieces in it (I think they're mushrooms). I still haven't tried the mushrooms, but the creamy broth mix is everything. Their sparkling sodas are always delicious. My favorite is the Hello Kitty strawberry one. I told all my friends about it, and me and my sister go regularly. My sister loves the banana milk! Definitely recommend!
