Raleys #308 Tully Manor Modesto, CA
Closer look at Paper Products wall sign.
My route on this specific trip to NorCal went through Modesto, and I knew there was one Raley's that still sported very classic 80's decor that I needed to go check out before it was gone.
This Raleys opened in 1976. While I'm not too sure about this stores specific history, I do know around the mid-1980's, this store was given a remodel into it's current decor, and also saw an expansion to the right into a previous store space, which can be seen with a large wall with two openings into the expansion space in both the front and back aisles, which separates the main store with the expansion.
The early 2000's did see its front facade updated as part of a shopping center renovation. Some SKU's were moved around during this time to put in an expanded liquor and wine department, which was also updated with new wood flooring and new shelving with the tile endcaps of shelving found in new-build and other remodeled Ralphs around this time. The rest of the store remains untouched from the 80's remodel to this day.
While it has kept this look for this long, I do anticipate at one point, they will either remodel or close, however, I try to remain optimistic that perhaps Raleys intentionally keeps this store with this look in order to have a physical time capsule of 1980's store design.
