Glad that I guessed right about Raley's. It's definitely my mom's
preferred regular supermarket. I'd shop there if the nearest one was
closer in. I now pass two of them on my commute and keep thinking about
making a detour in.

Is that Whole Foods at the Galleria in Roseville as big inside as it looks
outside? It looked huge. My SIL and I didn't go in but were both a bit
"whoa, that is a big store".
