California's grocery landscape includes several homegrown and regional banners: Ralphs, Kroger's Southern California chain, Vons, Albertsons' Southern California banner, Stater Bros. in the Inland Empire, and Save Mart in the Central Valley. These stores are as familiar as Safeway in many neighborhoods and accept SNAP EBT the same as any major supermarket. Shoppers can find these and other SNAP-authorized retailers listed in this site's store locator by city.
California operates a SNAP Restaurant Meals Program. Eligible elderly, disabled, or homeless SNAP participants (and their spouses) can use their EBT card to buy prepared meals at participating restaurants statewide.
