It is close enough for students to walk to and offers an incredible menu for vegans and vegetarians. The food there is really healthy and tastes good too. It’s not super expensive and gives you the good energy to push through the rest of the day. It is inside the Gold Country Mall off of 160 Harrison Ave, close to Bernie’s Hotdogs.

            “I like to go to Raley’s. They have really good sandwiches that you can just grab and go, and they’re only three dollars,” stated sophomore Lauren Collins. Raley’s is super convenient if you have a car. They have an unlimited supply of different kinds of food, because it is a grocery store. They have a deli where you can make your own sandwiches and they have pre-made sandwiches that are really inexpensive. They also have good, cheap Chinese food that you can help yourself to. Raley’s has many healthier items as well as endless chips and drinks. It’s a great, fast place to venture to.
