2 new businesses slated for old Raley’s grocery store. What’s coming to Land Park?

Raley’s has lined up new tenants to fill its former store on Freeport Boulevard, which moved down the block to a new Land Park location almost five years ago.

The West Sacramento-based grocery chain closed the supermarket, which had opened in 1959, in 2020 when the company opened a new flagship store a block north at 4690 Freeport Blvd.

Part of the building, at 4850 Freeport Blvd., will be occupied by Chuze Fitness, a health club chain, and part will be occupied by an Ace Hardware store, Raley’s spokesperson Chelsea Carbahal confirmed Thursday.

The gym will occupy 35,000 square feet, and open in the summer of 2026.

Details of the Ace Hardware store, which were first reported by the Sacramento Business Journal, were confirmed by Raley’s. The Ace Hardware will operate in the other half of the 61,000-square-foot building, the Business Journal said, based on permits filed by Westlake Ace Hardware of Kansas City, Missouri. Officials for Westlake — which operates 250 nationwide and 20 Ace Hardware locations in California, including sites in Woodland and Chico — did not respond to requests for comment.

Cars fill the parking lot for Raley’s new supermarket on Freeport Boulevard in Sacramento’s Land Park in December 2024. The former Raley’s site a block south will be occupied by a fitness club and hardware in the coming years, a company spokesperson said Thursday.

The hardware store will fill a hole in the neighborhood created after Hollywood Hardware, which had been in business since 1948, closed in February 2023.
