Save Mart Supermarkets said Thursday it plans to close one of its three corporate distribution centers in the fall and consolidate dry groceries into a facility it jointly owns with Raley’s Supermarkets.
The warehouse set for closure is an 850,000-square-foot dry grocery facility in Vacaville, Calif. — one of two distribution centers Save Mart acquired in 2007 when it purchased 132 Albertsons stores in Northern California and Northern Nevada.
Save Mart said it hopes to lease the facility to an as-yet undetermined tenant.

Groceries from the shuttered warehouse will be moved to an 840,000-square-foot dry grocery and frozen food distribution center in Lathrop, Calif., which is one of three facilities operated by Super Store Industries, a distributor Modesto, Calif.-based Save Mart has owned since 1990 in partnership with Raley’s Supermarkets, West Sacramento, Calif. 
The company said the 323 employees in the Vacaville warehouse will be offered severance packages.
Save Mart operates 205 stores in Northern California and Northern Nevada.  Besides the Vacaville facility, it has a 440,000-square-foot distribution center in Roseville, Calif. (which was also acquired as part of the Albertsons deal), and a 220,000-square-foot warehouse in Merced, Calif.
