New Grocery Outlet Store Planned for Sutherlin

SUTHERLIN, Ore. - A Grocery Outlet store is in development for Sutherlin, with the project listed on a construction company’s website and recruitment underway for an independent operator.

Dickerhoof Construction identifies the Sutherlin Grocery Outlet among its current projects. A separate project page includes links to civil and building shell plans labeled Sept. 2, 2026, along with additional construction documents. The groundbreaking for the store appears to have started on Tuesday.

The proposed store is reportedly planned for Clover Leaf Loop, off West Central Avenue, with groundbreaking reportedly beginning Tuesday, Oct. 13. The Roseburg Receiver has not independently confirmed the location or construction start date.

The Roseburg Receiver has reached out to Dickerhoof Construction for additional details about the Sutherlin project and is awaiting a response.

Grocery Outlet has also posted an Independent Operator/Store Manager opportunity for Sutherlin. The listing describes responsibilities that include overseeing daily operations, selecting merchandise, managing finances, and recruiting and training employees.

The company operates primarily through independent business owners who run individual stores under a license from Grocery Outlet. Operators hire their own employees and have discretion over much of their store’s product selection, allowing them to tailor inventory to the community.

Grocery Outlet sells discounted groceries, including produce, fresh meat, refrigerated and frozen foods, and everyday staples. Its merchandise combines regularly stocked products with a changing selection acquired through opportunistic purchasing.

The new store would add another grocery shopping option in Sutherlin, where Shop Smart operates at 811 E. Central Ave.

An opening date, store hours, and a local operator’s name were not identified in the project and recruitment materials reviewed.

The Roseburg Receiver will publish a new update when more information is known.
