Yes, returns with a receipt are accepted for a full refund. The policy specifically mentions returns "with a receipt."
Are there any items that are non-returnable?

Think of Grocery Outlet as the treasure hunt your wallet's been waiting for. Since 1946, this isn't your typical grocery chain-it's basically what happens when someone takes all the overstock, closeouts, and "oops, we made too much" inventory from major brands and turns it into a shopping adventure.
Here's the thing that makes Grocery Outlet genuinely different: the vast majority of stores are independently operated by local married couples, with each store having flexibility in its product offerings to serve local tastes and demand. So while you're getting name brand groceries and farm fresh organic produce for 40-70% less than conventional grocery stores, you're also supporting local entrepreneurs who actually live in your community.
The business model is pretty brilliant when you think about it. Inventory comes primarily from overstocks and closeouts of name-brand groceries, and the company buys mostly closeout or seasonal merchandise, so particular brand names change often. That rotating inventory creates what customers call a "treasure hunt" experience-you never know what premium brands you'll find at rock-bottom prices.
And we're talking serious savings here. Grocery Outlet is one of the largest opportunistic buyers of grocery items in the country, selling name-brand items to customers for up to 60% off conventional grocery store retail prices, maintaining strong margins while still selling at low prices. They've got stores in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, and Delaware-over 480 locations and growing.
But here's what really sets them apart from other discount grocers: they're not just selling expired or damaged goods. The company's stores also carry food staples such as fresh meat, dairy and bread, plus they've got a solid selection of organic and specialty items that would normally cost a fortune elsewhere.
The company went public in 2019 and has been expanding steadily, though they're being smart about it-focusing on markets where their treasure-hunt model really resonates with shoppers who appreciate both quality and value.
