Sacramento’s top new retail chains and restaurants for 2025

Sacramento welcomes a wave of new retail chains and restaurant concepts in 2025, reflecting the region's diverse tastes. Notable newcomers include Super Duper Burgers, opening its largest-ever location in Roseville, and The Posh Bagel, with six new shops planned across the area.

Specialty stores and chains are expanding too, with the arrival of Haraz Coffee House’s first Sacramento-area Yemeni coffee shop and gourmet dessert shop Dipped setting up in Arden Fair mall. Meanwhile, major retailers like Dick’s Sporting Goods’ new two-story House of Sport and Burlington’s location in North Highlands signal continued investment in large-format shopping. With options like tandoori pizza in Elk Grove and a new Ross Dress for Less in East Sacramento, the year’s arrivals bring both established brands and fresh tastes to local neighborhoods.
