Ripon, Calif. (April 29, 2026) – The Save Mart Companies, one of the West Coast’s largest regional full-service grocery chains, hosted a community celebration at the newly remodeled Save Mart store in Ripon on Wednesday, April 29. Located at 1453 Goodwin Drive, the updated store introduces a range of new amenities and expanded product offerings designed to enhance the shopping experience and meet the evolving needs of the local community.
Customers will now enjoy a full-service butcher block and seafood counter, an expanded service deli with convenient grab-and-go options, a refreshed bakery cake case, and an on-site sushi chef. The store also features expanded selections of fresh produce-- including prepared items such as fruit parfaits, guacamole, and salsa-- along with an expanded wine and spirits assortment. The store has also added self check-out stations.
“Our customers in Ripon have made this store an important part of the community, and we’re proud to introduce these new upgrades and expanded services for them,” said Bobby McDowell, vice president of store operations at Save Mart. “We’re excited to celebrate with our neighbors and to continue serving this community for years to come.”
To celebrate the remodel, Save Mart’s community celebration featured remarks from Save Mart team members and contributions to local schools and community partners. The festivities included a friendly “Heroes Bagging Showdown” competition between Second Harvest of the Greater Valley, San Joaquin County Family Justice Center Foundation, and The Healthy Room Project. Each organization will keep items bagged to support their mission and communities served and earn gift cards to add resources to support their missions.
The celebration continues Friday, May 1 – Sunday, May 3 when customers are invited to return for a special vendor sampling event and gift card giveaway. The event will also feature appearances from The Save Mart Companies’ iconic oversized shopping cart, “Big Red.”
