The men were identified as 34-year-old Raul Cristostomo de la Cruz of Lodi and 49-year-old Raul Zepeda of Stockton.
The City of Stockton confirmed permits had been pulled for the work by TJ Construction. The permits were for tenant improvements, including the installation of a grease interceptor at the supermarket, which was preparing to reopen under new ownership.
"They said they were going to go down in the hole and get some measurements, and that was the last time they were seen," Stockton Fire Deputy Chief Erik Patten said.
"It looked like the walls had actually collapsed into the trench," Patten said. "With the amount that had to be excavated from the hole, they had no chance."
Patten said it appeared the trench did not have shoring in place, which is meant to help prevent the walls from collapsing.
Officials said the investigation could take up to six months to complete.
