Smith’s to open six new rebranded stores in Las Vegas

Smith’s will open six new rebranded Southern Nevada stores at 8 a.m. on March 4.

The new Smith’s locations were formerly Food 4 Less stores. The brand, an affiliated division of Smith’s under Kroger Co., left the area. All 800 Food 4 Less employees were trained and moved into positions with Smith’s stores, including the six new locations.

There were more than $4 million in renovations at each of the stores.

The new Smith’s stores include pharmacy, deli and bakery counters, service meat and seafood departments, floral selections and self-checkout stations. The new location at 8180 Las Vegas Blvd. South will also offer fresh sushi, Boars Head deli meat, and the first Murray’s Cheese in Nevada.

“We are delighted to bring new services and a wider selection of items for our new customers by opening these six new stores throughout the Valley,” Jay Cummins, Smith’s president, said in a statement.

Smith’s currently operates 37 locations in Southern Nevada. The six new stores are at:

— 3030 W. Craig Road.

— 4001 S. Decatur Blvd.

— 3602 E. Bonanza Road.

— 2255 Las Vegas Blvd. North

— 4965 E. Sahara Ave.

— 8180 Las Vegas Blvd. South

As part of its grand opening, Smith’s will donate $25,000 to Communities in Schools of Nevada to help support its partner schools in neighborhoods around each new store. Smith’s will also donate 50 bicycles to Big Brothers Big Sisters.
