The city of Stockton is losing yet another grocery discount store.
Food Source, under parent company Raley’s, announced it is closing its location on West Hammer Lane for good on June 6. It’s been the last remaining Food Source in operation nationwide.
Nearly all of the Family Dollar stores, all the 99-cent stores, and Big Lots have left the city, and the Stockton Sears closed last year.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture actually considers a large portion of the West Hammer Lane area a food desert for people who live more than half a mile away.
A lot of the big-box stores left because of nationwide closures. Family Dollar claims inflation and retailer competition.
