Brandon and Sam Riahi are the dual-store operators of the St. Johns and Scappoose Grocery Outlets. Growing up, Sam’s mother was a raving fan of Grocery Outlet. Sam remembers shopping the store with her mother and growing to love the business. When her brother became an operator she knew she had to do the same. She teamed up with her husband Brandon and the two began operator training themselves in 2002. After the two finished, they took over the Yuba City store and stayed there for two years before transferring to Scappoose.  They took ownership of the St. Johns store in 2011.

Brandon and Sam are honored to be able to contribute to the Portland community. The couple is a huge supporter of local food banks that provide regular donations that go to feed the needy. The couple also offers a 5% discount on all products going to the banks.

Through the years of operating their stores, Brandon and Sam have cultivated many close friendships with their customers. Their constant smiles and helpful attitudes have allowed the couple to acquaint themselves with many shoppers personally and develop relationships that go beyond the store. Brandon and Sam are glad their store has been able to give back to the community of Scappoose. To all of their customers, Brandon and Sam would like to say thank you for helping them help you and that they wish to be continue for many years to come.
