Grocery Outlet works on transition to new owner

Late last year, it was made public the owners of Grocery Outlet Rainier, Jeremy and Monika Medhaug, had decided to put the store up for sale after taking ownership earlier in 2025. Grocery Outlet operates as a franchise model and the corporate office opened up the Rainier location for potential buyers. Current on-site management includes a corporate transition team with support from owners of the Scappoose store while details are finalized for new ownership. The change is forecasted to go into effect by mid-February. According to conversations with the transition team, a business owner from Myrtle Creek has purchased the Rainier location.
