Offering world-class pharmacy service

Raley’s celebrated its 80th year in business and lived up to its reputation as one of the best pharmacies in the western United States. The chain was recognized in 2014 by Consumer Reports in the magazine’s top pharmacies and drug stores list, which ranked pharmacies of all sizes on a variety of consumer experiences.

Raley’s VP of pharmacy Lee Worthy said the company was proud to earn a place on the list and continues to work hard to keep its customers happy and healthy. “Raley’s takes great pride in world-class service, and infusing our customers’ lives with health-and-wellness,” he said. “Our remodeled locations feature a patient care area designed for a private, professional location for consultations, as well as performing procedures in our pharmacies.”



After announcing that the chain was removing tobacco products from its stores in early 2015, Raley’s expanded its smoking cessation offerings in its pharmacy department. Citing a “very strong correlation between tobacco use and many serious health issues,” the chain said that the decision to no longer sell tobacco products “is a part our continuing effort to raise awareness about health-and-wellness.”



Worthy said that in addition to traditional medical offerings at its pharmacy, the chain continues to add natural offerings and alternative supplement options for its customers.



The chain also has a thriving compounding business, including hormone replacement therapies; special dosing for the young, elderly or pets; and alternative delivery for patients who can’t tolerate oral medications.



In March 2015, Raley’s became the first retailer in the United States to roll out a new, environmentally friendly food safety program. The program, called Ecolab, focuses on simplifying food safety processes to ensure proper cleaning and delivering operational savings through the use of less labor, water, energy and waste.



Raley’s operates stores under the Raley’s Superstores, Bel Air Markets, Nob Hill Foods and Food Source banners.
