Owner manager Jorge keeps his store clean, well stocked and brings years of Grocery Store experience to the Torrance Grocery Outlet. His Staff is helpful, friendly and well trained. Seldom do you wait to Check-Out, as 80% of floor staff is trained on Registers to get you on your way. Many shoppers have shared with me they have a G.Outlet closer to them (Lomita/Redondo) but come to Jorge's store due to service, ease of parking, efficient Staff and cleanliness of his Store. He and his staff escort suspicious/unruly shopper immediately out the exit as well. Their butcher section has the best Ribeye steaks, air chilled chicken and local caught sustainable cod fillets! TYSM Jorge and daughter Anjilina for managing a wonderful Neighborhood Store! All the very best! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

I visited this Grocery Outlet yesterday. I heard that they recently opened and I was in the area. This store had wide aisles and their products were neatly displayed. I picked up a wedge of cheese and some charcuterie board cold cuts. Grocery items and prices were similar to another Grocery Outlet closer to home. Employees were friendly. There was a large parking lot as it used to be a Korean Market. read more

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! read more

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! read more

This location has been two previous grocery stores, a Vons, then a S-Mart. Hopefully this grocery store will last longer. This Grocery Outlet recently opened, so the store is clean. If you've never been in one, they sell groceries and liquor. Many of the wines are twist off tops, no cork, but good quality. Service was friendly and efficient. Parking: Free, lot parking. read more

A great addition to the neighborhood. They have much of what I need. They even have the Major Grey's chutney I previously couldn't find anywhere. The wines are a good deal. The employees are polite and the owners are great. They contribute to charities that mitigate food insecurity. It's great to have a store that I can easily bike (thanks for the bike rack) or walk to. read more

Great deals. Nice clean store. But the best part is the men and women who work there. Incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The manager really needs to be commended. The rest of the staff does not act like that unless it's a healthy work environment. read more

This is the new Grocery Outlet that just opened up on the corner of Torrance Blvd. and Crenshaw. For those of you who are looking for a discount supermarket in the Northern Torrance area, this might be the place for you. This new location is where a number of supermarkets have previously existed. Thus, the store is designed as expected; grocery store orientated. In terms of what they offer, if you've ever been to a Grocery Outlet, you'll pretty much know what to expect. They have a lot of everything, at semi-reduced prices. The stock of the store is constantly changing, so what you find one week, you may not find the next. Thus, if you think you might want a certain item today, tomorrow, and beyond, you may want to buy a few examples of it. I've noticed this has happened with a couple of the CPK pizzas that they offer. Every now and then you'll find a really unique and never before seen flavor from CPK. But, it's here and then it's gone. What Grocery Outlet also offers is a very good selection of quality wines at discount prices. You can generally find wines from all over the world. Plus, they have a good selection of all the variance of the different types of wine: white, red, rosé, and beyond. So, if you're stocking up for a party or something like that, Grocery Outlet is a good place to do it. Overall, if you're looking for a discount food market, this may be the place for you to shop. read more

Only recently learned about this chain during our vacation in San Diego and was kinda happy to see that they were putting one where the old S Mart used to be. I can see how some people are turned off by a store like this, but with high prices these days and families barely getting by I think it's great! I like coming in and seeing what goodies they have for the week...its a great place to buy snacks! Some things expire soon so check the label, but you cant beat the price. The staff is always nice, and the ambiance is good (they always play the jams lol). Dont knock it til you try it! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Brand new location that took over the $.99 store. Large and spacious, I love that they carry brands that you won't find in any other grocery store. The price is also can't be beat. Service is wonderful and the line at checkout is always moving quickly. Highly recommended if you're looking for it for about groceries in the area! read more

This store is really great. Owners are super nice. Prices are pretty amazing and it's in walking distance from my house. What I like most is that I find many many things I typically get at Whole Foods, but the prices are a fraction of the cost! Primal Kitchen ketchup is $3.99 (it's typically $11). Are most expiration dates a bit sooner than what you would buy in a larger full priced store? Yes. But for someone who doesn't believe in expiration dates, like me, it's a steal! There's often coupons they mail out too - helping to save even more. Highly recommend checking this store out! read more

This store has great deals on petfood and cleaning supplies. The food products are near their expiration date so make sure you read them. The deals are real though and it is because the items are about to expire. Knowing this if you plan to use them immediately you can find real value at these locations. They even carry organic and have a nice wine section making the store a fun place to check out. The inventory changes weekly but there is always something new. The store in my area is clean and managed by friendly staff read more

I walked into the store looking for a brand of cheese and caramel popcorn. When I asked someone who looked like an employee it was the owner Mr. Jorge Smith. He was friendly, kind and asked me to describe the product. He called his beautiful daughter over, Angelina Smith who said that she knew exactly what product I wanted. She said she would ordered it. She did! When I came in the next time my Cretors handcrafted Cheese & Caramel Mix was front and centered in the upon entering the store. This bag of popcorn cost me $7.99. The Popcorn factory & Garrett Popcorn sells this combination for almost $40. I am super happy that I can have my treat at a fantastic price. This store is spacious the products are brilliantly presented and they have the best colby cheese, deli meat and vegetables. This is my go to store when I want quality food, service and friendly owners and employees. I sincerely recommend the Torrance Grocery Outlet Bargain Market. read more

We live in the neighborhood and i was excited for a new grocery to walk to. Grocery market bargain outlet marketing is false. They market their foods as discounted however Trader Joe's has similar or better prices on everything. The fruit and vegetables are not fresh and dairy selection is very scant. (You also have to be careful because a lot of the foods have a shorter shelf life than other grocery stores) read more

Good selection of items all around. Nice looking produce and meats at a great price. The people here are always very helpful and friendly and I like that it is owned and operated by a father daughter team who I've seen actually stocking shelves and running the cash register. The place is immaculately maintained even the restrooms. I really like this place and I wish them big success! read more

Very cheap options and helpful employees to help me find what I need. I will come again

Since I discovered this new grocery outlet, I haven't needed to go to Ralph's or any of the major chain grocery stores! They have everything that I need on a regular basis, even brand name items at a super low price. The owner is always there and he is so friendly. Produce is fresh and clean, no flies like some stores! The frozen section is well stocked. I never have to wait for a long time at checkout and the parking lot is safe with good lighting. Carts are new! I am always coming back. read more

I was greeted coming into my brand new grocery outlet that I couldn't wait to get into with a giant box of rotten oranges! The shelves were fairly bare. It's a big store and it doesn't have near the stuff. The little store in Redondo Beach has. Nor the expertise in checking out. I entered my phone number and my app was not on my bill. Young woman at the cash register said well I'm sorry I thought I saw it go through, but there's nothing I can do about it now I would have to cancel your whole order and do it again. Wow. That's not how I acted if I were the brand new opening!!! I'll give you six months and I'll try again but until then Redondo will get all my money. Plus the meat department is stinky. What there is of it actually Redondo has a much smaller area and lots more choices. Along with the bread half an aisle do you have enough room to do better and you didn't even have the bread I came to buy! read more

Shopped here today for the first time. Very clean!! Great prices! Produce was fresh! Every employee I encountered was friendly and helpful! I will definitely be shopping here again! read more
