The New Year is practically synonymous with setting new goals, and a major key to attaining any goal is BALANCE. That’s why our newest Field Guide is dedicated to helping you attain balance no matter what your goals look like!
We’re thrilled to announce that Nugget Markets has officially earned a place on FORTUNE Magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list for the 17th year in a row! This year we came in at #95 in the entire nation, thanks once again to our amazing family of associates. We are truly honored by the recognition and infinitely grateful for our entire community of support!
For the first time in Nugget Markets history, one of our amazing associates has claimed the title of Best Bagger in the Nation! Just this week, Alexa S. from our West Sacramento store won 1st place in the National Grocers Association’s Best Bagger Championship in Las Vegas. Not only did she take home the grand prize of $10,000, she also earned ultimate b(r)agging rights as the first ever Nugget Markets associate to bring home the victory.
Whether you consider our Healthy Living and Floral departments a great place for gifts or self-care central, you’re absolutely right. Between the two, we have oodles of little luxuries and beautiful blooms perfect for setting the stage for your holiday festivities, sharing the love with friends and family, or treating yourself to something special. Even better, many of our products come from local vendors thanks to these talented, thoughtful and totally awesome women.
December is a time to look back at the year and acknowledge our achievements, and it’s a time to look forward to the future and think about setting new goals. It’s also a chance to take a historical look at where we’ve been, which is why we’re proud to present how far Nugget Markets’ extraordinary Sustainability Program has come since it began six years ago!
When it comes to great gifts, you can’t go wrong with food. Thanks to our Specialty Grocery Buyer, Josh Dwinell, we offer more than 15,000 gourmet goodies fit for any food lover. With 22 years of grocery experience, Josh curates the amazing selection of dry goods across our stores, specializing in specialty, gourmet and organic products from around the corner and around the globe. It’s a big job, but Josh juggles it all like the pro he is.
Complex, cultured and aged to perfection... We’re talking about cheese and wine, of course, and no holiday celebration is complete without them. Great for gifting, indulging, small celebrations and big flavor alike, these two food groups are a natural pairing across the board. Luckily, Mike and Jeremy are also a dynamic duo, leading our teams of wine stewards and cheesemongers and their respective departments to delicious new heights every day.
What better way to get in the holiday spirit than with a warm cup of coffee or tea and some fresh-baked sweets? Our amazing Coffee & Juice Bar and Bakery both bring joy all year long, and the holidays are no exception! Tina Moore and Kara Chan are the fearless leaders behind our talented bakers and baristas, so we asked them a few questions to see how they’re pulling out all the stops to make the holidays extraordinary.
From traditional turkeys to succulent standing rib roasts and other premium proteins, our amazing Meat Department has just what you need to make the centerpiece for your feast. These amazing meats don’t just magically appear in our stores though—there’s an art to sourcing the very best proteins from a variety of premier partners. Artisans themselves, Bill and Sarah work hard to put the “eat” in “meat” and make every store's Meat Department a masterpiece.
