Started by two brothers with a passion for groceries, quality, and value, Gelson’s changed the supermarket landscape with the best customer service available — and we’re still known for that today! We’re all about the SoCal lifestyle, and we go above and beyond to offer our customers an extraordinary grocery shopping experience.
We’re famous for selling the freshest, best-tasting produce you can buy. We work with local growers, buy fresh produce six days a week, and hand-select all our gorgeous fruits and vegetables.
Our meat and seafood is second to none. We’re the only grocery chain in Southern California that’s licensed to carry the Certified Angus Beef® Brand of USDA Prime beef — the very same beef you get when you go to an upscale steak or chop house. And our seafood is the freshest, highest quality available. There are things in our cases that you simply can’t find anywhere else.
Craving fresh and healthy? Our juice & smoothie bar uses the best fruits and veggies from our produce department along with organic and grass-fed milk and yogurt. There’s something for everyone!
Or, build your own poke bowl at our in-house poke bar. We make fresh poke several times a day using our house Hawaiian and Hawaiian Spicy style recipes and generous chunks of beautiful, center-cut ahi tuna.
Not in the mood to cook? We prepare a wide variety of high-quality take-home foods right in our stores, from entrees and sandwiches to soups and salads, available for pickup or delivery.

Craving something light and bright for lunch? This plant-based Curried Chickpea Salad Sandwich is packed with flavor and simple to make.
Here’s the 5-step recipe:
1. Drain and rinse 1 (15-oz) can of chickpeas. Transfer the chickpeas to a large bowl and mash about half of them with a potato masher or the back of a fork.
2. Add ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard, ¾ tsp curry powder, ⅛ tsp cumin, 1 pinch cayenne pepper, 1 tsp lemon juice, and ¼ cup roughly chopped golden raisins to the bowl.
3. Add 2 thinly sliced scallions and 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro leaves. Stir to combine.
4. Toast two slices of your favorite bread.
5. Layer one slice of toast with ½ cup chickpea salad, 1 tomato slice, 2 Tbsp pickled red onions, and a few pinches of microgreens. Top with the remaining piece of toast and enjoy.
The perfect side dish for summery barbecue fare: Broccolini au Poivre.
In this new recipe, we pair tender grilled broccolini with a classic French “au poivre” sauce. Traditionally served with steak, the sauce is bursting with rich flavors — salty, sweet, umami, acid — that pair nicely with the simple green vegetable.

These bright, lemony, garlicky beans make a great appetizer or snack. Scoop them up with crunchy crostini or whole grain chips!
Here’s the 5-step recipe:
1. Using a vegetable peeler, cut off large strips of zest from a lemon, being careful not to get the white pith.
2. In a small pot, combine the lemon peels, ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 4 fresh bay leaves, and 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves. Heat over low heat until simmering, 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, reserving the oil. Discard the solids.
3. In a large bowl, combine 1 (12-oz) can drained and rinsed cannellini beans, 1 Tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves, 1 Tbsp minced chives, 1 minced garlic clove, the zest and juice of one lemon, and the infused oil. Mix until well combined.
4. Cover and refrigerate the beans. Marinate for one hour and up to overnight.
5. Bring the snack beans to room temperature before serving, about 15 minutes. Garnish with red chili flakes and serve with toothpicks. Leftover snack beans will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Tortelloni are like the big, fluffy brother of smaller tortellini. In this recipe we’ve tossed them with sun-dried tomatoes, creamy goat cheese, peppery arugula, and a fresh basil pesto.
Serve this salad hot for dinner or keep it chilled and bring it to next week’s Fourth of July party with a bottle of @DAOUVineyards sauvignon blanc (the wine’s on sale through 7/2). Either way, it's molto bene!
