Smart & Final Reveals Its Intention to Move Further Into Sacramento, CA Market
COMMERCE, CA - Smart & Final Stores, Inc. has released its intentions to open two Extra! format stores in the Sacramento region in the coming months.
According to the Sacramento Business Journal, the company has plans set for a 28,000 square foot store to open as early as May 20, followed by an almost 27,000 square foot store about 20 miles away in June.
As we previously reported, Smart & Final experienced a strong 2014 that has spurred a continued focus on its Extra! format, which focuses on an emphasized produce and meats department.
“Smart & Final Extra! continues to be the key to our new store growth, and, as planned, we completed twice as many new store openings and conversions to Extra! in 2014 as compared to the prior year,” Dave Hirz, President and CEO of Smart & Final, said in company’s fourth quarter financial report.
With existing Extra! stores in Sacramento, Carmichael, Citrus Heights, and Rancho Cordova, the company’s count is continuing to grow despite heavy competition in the area as it continues to target the value consumer with a focus on natural and organic items.
