When there’s more than enough to go around, why is it that food waste and hunger can coexist? That’s the question ExtraFood is answering with their food recovery program in Marin County, and at Nugget Markets, we are so excited to be a part of it.
We’re delighted to announce that Nugget Markets has been voted Best Grocery Store this year by the readers of not one, but two different local publications. Thank you for your votes of confidence and the privilege of serving you!
We’re pleased to announce Nugget Markets was recognized as a top diversity employer and a top place to work for Hispanics and Latinos!
Good news! We’re pleased to announce that Fork Lift by Nugget Markets has been voted Best Grocery Store in the Mountain Democrat’s Readers’ Choice awards. Thank you, readers!
Nugget Markets’ 22nd Bag Off was a huge success! Every one of our stores from Sacramento Valley to Marin County brought their A-game at this year’s UBC-themed competition to find the Ultimate Bagging Champion. Of all the skilled baggers to compete, Clayton C. from our Vacaville store, Shelby G. (El Dorado Hills), Yasmin R. (West Sacramento) and Elsa I. (Davis on Mace Blvd.) pulled out all the stops to become UBC finalists. At the end of the night, Clayton C. took home the champion belt!
Every participant and guest showed amazing spirit and support for our awesome baggers. Our West Sacramento store pushed the limits and took home the coveted Spirit Award! Clayton will go on to represent Nugget Markets at the National Best Bagger competition in Las Vegas on February 29th. Wish us luck!
How time flies! Nugget Markets opened the doors to our very first store 89 years ago today, and we’re still going strong! It’s been an honor serving the Sacramento Valley for all these years, and we’re thrilled to now be serving Marin County, as well. Thank you to all our guests and associates for making such a legacy possible. Here’s to our next 89 years and beyond!
At Nugget Markets, sustainability matters! During 2014 we diverted 4.8 million pounds of recyclables and reduced water consumption by more than 75%. This year we’re upping the ante. Our sustainability coordinator tells all in this video.
While we’re all hoping that a strong “El Niño” winter will help end the current drought situation, in the heat of the summer it’s more important than ever that we all do our part to reduce our water use. We thought we should share with our guests some of the ways Nugget Markets has taken on the challenge of reducing our water consumption to conserve this precious resource.
