The stores and shops have changed with the economic challenges over the last few years. One of the commericial malls within the boundaries of the area, "The Ecelectic Center," is loved or strongly disliked for it's distinctive "Alice in Wonderland" look.
Residents here may travel 5 - 10 minutes in either direction along Folsom for additional stores and restaurants or particularly to find one of the major supermarket chains (Raley's, Belle Air or Safeway). Additionally, traveling over highway 50 on Bradshaw also offers a selection of more recognized fast food and restaurants (Taco Bell, Burger King, Mountain Mike's, IHOP, Starbucks, Pho Bac Hoa Viet, etc) as well as a Wells Fargo Bank with ATM.
Established stores and restaurants in the Butterfield Rivera area are weathering the economic times largely through support of the community.
Some of the more commonly recommended establishments:
Olympic Market (Formerly Hana's Market)
A predominantly Asian (Korean) supermarket on Folsom Boulevard that is one of the few family run supermarkets still serving the Sacramento area. Large selection of Korean and Japanese products, also offers a fresh produce section and fresh meat/deli section featuring good quality cuts at reasonable to fantastic prices. This market, particularly their produce selection and meat department is an open secret in the area.
