About this Grocery Outlet
Grocery Outlet's store list names this branch "Palo Alto - 3445 Alma Street." Map data places it in the Alma Village development along Alma Street, a short distance from the Caltrain tracks. Grocery Outlet is a discount closeout chain: much of the stock is overstock and closeouts from name-brand and private-label suppliers, sold under the company's Xtreme Value pricing. Most stores are run by independent local operators who can tailor the product mix to local tastes, so the shelves here reflect both what the chain has bought and what the operators choose to stock.
The company announced 36 store closures on March 4, 2026. The Palo Alto store still appeared on the company's store list in October 2026. Its website does not show hours or a phone number for this branch, so confirm with the store locator before a special or late trip.
