Popular Local Grocer Save Mart Breaks Ground on New Manteca Store, Deepening Community Investment
Save Mart begins construction on a modern, next-generation store,
continuing its 63-year commitment to Manteca residents
MODESTO, Calif. (July 30, 2025) -- The Save Mart Companies, based in the heart of the Central Valley and one of the West Coast's largest regional, full-service grocery chains, celebrated a ceremonial groundbreaking today in Manteca, California for a new Save Mart store with local civic leaders and key business partners. Slated to open in late Summer 2026, the new 52,000-square-foot Save Mart will be an anchor in the Marketplace @ Main Shopping Center, located on the southwest corner of Main Street and Atherton Drive.
"With this future Save Mart store, we are proud to provide even more convenience to our friends and neighbors in South Manteca,” said Jim Perkins, president of The Save Mart Companies. “We will deliver a best-in-class shopping experience rooted in our promise of everyday lower prices and exceptional quality, while also creating more employment opportunities in the region."
This new location continues the company's longstanding service to Manteca, dating back to 1962, and will feature a fresh-forward design with full-service floral, produce, meat, deli and bakery departments showcasing locally produced customer favorites. The store will also include an eatery with a relaxing outdoor patio and the latest in digital convenience, including pickup and delivery through Savemart.com and third-party marketplaces, plus Amazon return kiosks.
Demonstrating Save Mart's commitment to environmental stewardship, the new store will be 100% electric and feature an energy-efficient, natural CO2 refrigeration system.
