Discount supermarket chain Grocery Outlet is expected to take over the former Big Lots! building located at 7991 Amador Valley Blvd. in West Dublin.

In an announcement via social media, the city expressed excitement over the new grocery store.

"We're excited to announce that Grocery Outlet will move into the former Big Lots! location later this year," officials said. "Grocery Outlet is a local grocer that prides itself on offering deep discounts on the groceries customers love."

Local residents shared comments of anticipation and delight about the new business online.

This will make the third Grocery Outlet location in the Tri-Valley, with other storefronts in Pleasanton and Livermore.

Additional updates on the new store's status, including a confirmed opening date, are expected to come from city and Grocery Outlet press officials in the near future.
