The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Grocery Outlet Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: GO) Misled Investors Regarding Completion of Grocery Outlet's System Transition 

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the completion of Grocery Outlet's System Transition and any potential negative impact resulting therefrom, while also minimizing the risks associated with potential and perceived setbacks to the Company's finances as a result of implementation errors and other issues surrounding the System Transition. In truth, defendants' repeated indications as to both when the Systems Transition would be completed and how significantly it would impact Grocery Outlet's sales and margins fell short of reality as the defendants relied far too heavily on their ability to implement these new or otherwise upgraded systems without significant setbacks to the Company's finances. Grocery Outlet was simply not equipped to properly execute on the transition as planned and communicated to investors, despite repeated assurances that the issues would be resolved and the transition completed with each coming quarter.

On May 7, 2024, Defendants released their Q1FY24 results, which surprisingly announced both a significantly larger-than-expected impact from Systems Transition issues and significantly below-market guidance for the second quarter. On this news, the price of the Company's shares fell from $25.90 per share on May 7, 2024, to $20.88 per share on May 8, 2024, a decline of about 19.38% in the span of just a single day.
