Store size varies enormously, from a small corner grocery with a few aisles to a full supermarket chain location in San Francisco with a bakery, seafood counter and food court under one roof. Sales and promotions are often posted in-store or in a weekly flyer rather than online, so prices listed on a website may be out of date. Seafood markets sell live and on-ice product and can usually clean or prepare fish on request for a small fee. Specialty food stores in California may focus narrowly on one category, like a butcher, a rice and dry goods shop, or an import store, so calling ahead to confirm stock for a specific item saves a wasted trip.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. The most common schedule is 9 am–9 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (415) 863-0620. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is rainbow.coop, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
