Nine brands redefine Sacramento’s retail landscape in 2025

Sacramento’s retail scene is changing, with nine new brands bringing fresh options in 2025. Super Duper Burgers is opening its largest location yet in Roseville, serving up popular smash burgers and shakes. The area also welcomes global flavors, including Tandoori Pizza’s Downtown Commons location and The Posh Bagel expanding to six new cities with sandwiches and pastries.

Shoppers gain more choices as Burlington and Ross Dress For Less open new discount stores, while Miniso adds a third local shop selling toys and home goods. Even local businesses are thriving—The Fade Room, a Black-owned barbershop, now offers a second spot in Elk Grove.

Wendy Lam and her brother David Lam photograph food they ordered at Slow & Low Smokehouse during the restaurant’s soft opening on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, in Elk Grove.
