Smart and Final can trace its roots back to 1871 in Los Angeles, California. At that time, Los Angeles was a small ranching town. Three friends, Herman Hellman, Jacob Haas and Bernard Cohn, decided to open a grocery store to service the surrounding farms and ranches.
Today, Smart and Final is the oldest, and one of the largest, warehouse style supermarkets in the Western US. The company employs more than 10,000 persons and operates in 7 states. The company has acquired numerous competitors over the years, including Cash & Carry, Henry’s Farmers Markets, Sun Harvest, and in 2011, Sprouts Markets.
In 2014, the company went public on the NYSE under the ticker symbol: SNF.
The company operates more than 250 locations across the US and 15 in Mexico under the name Calimax.
In May 2021, Mexican supermarket chain Chedraui, announced that it intended to acquire the Smart and Final chain.
Company headquarters are located in Commerce, California.

I just bought $73.49 of condiments for our company lunchroom last week at your Roseville store. My receipt is dated 9/1. When we started using some of the relish packets we noticed the box had an expiration date of 9/17/22, that’s 10 days from the date of purchase. I called the store and they said since it’s open I can’t return it – That I should have looked at the date. I work for a food distribution company and we would not sell something to a customer with a 10 day shelf life. But since it’s the “First Street” private label I guess it’s in Smart and Finals control. I think the right thing to do is to let me return the two boxes of relish packets (even the open box). The unopen box I bought is dated 10/7/22, I feel that is unacceptable also. Thinking items like packets of ketchup, mayo, mustard, and relish should be good for at least 3-4 months?

16+ yr Customers!! Love Shopping @ Smart & Final, but NOT able to use 1 App coupon EVER. NO Tmobile service in-store, so NO opportunity to use WORTHLESS S&F App. FALSE ADVERTISING. Read App reviews on App Store. We’re not the only ones who have issues w/ Purposeless App. LOSE THE APP & Give Loyal Customers REAL Coupon Savings!!

Brad says
Smart and final is a scam. The in Store price never matches the ad in the paper. I can understand it happening once in a while but it happens every time I go in. Usually with more than one item. And it’s not just me because other customer in front of me have had the same issue. Store number 316 on Vine street Riverside CA.
Jill says
Every time I visit the location in Panorama City. Van Nuys & Arminta) there is no air conditioning in the store. The employees say that this is “normal” that the air conditioning hardly ever works. It has been 90+ degrees outside for weeks and it is actually hotter INSIDE the store. Please fix the air conditioning at this location. This is NOT okay!!!!!!! The employees should not have to work in those conditions.

Great America fish products. Sounds like good old America. Right? Wrong – it is product from China. S & F ought to be ashamed to mislead with this mislabeling. Please correct that. I will not buy food products from China due to their lack of integrity. Love your new store in Hanford!

I forgot to add that the same thing hold true for you bathing suits… Tried to buy one ot those also and your code won’t work…. so that’s why I just ordered my bathing suit for this year from Miracle suit…You are loosing business … Bad business all around…
Judith F Vandermeer says
I tried to order 4 new bras on your sales promotion… the deal was $10 off on any purchase of $35 or more…with the code Spring 10… I ordered $48 in bras, put in the code and it was not valid… this is YOUR code… and this is the third and final time you will pull this kind of rip off on me… If you are going to sell lingerie then sell it at the price you offer… I have had enough of having a sale offered and then withdrawn… I have used your products for years… have a drawer full of them and several bathing suits… I will not be buying anything more from you because of your policy of offering deals you have no intention of giving… Looks like it’s back to Victoria’s Secret for bras that fit and Miracle Suit for the bathing suit this year…What you are doing is very bad business.
