Here's some info I found on the grocery outlet website about their company. "...The third generation of the Read family is now running the business, with 280+ independently operated stores in California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Grocery Outlet stores are located in cities large and small, and serve all kinds of neighborhoods. Most stores are independently operated by locally-based families. ..." So I'm not sure if those two stores are operated by the same family, but they are both part of the same company along with 280 plus other stores all over the country. Hope this helps answer your question.
Yes it is
