The new Smart & Final location on Rosecrans is actually a relocation from the existing store at 2804 Midway Drive, which is sited directly across Sports Arena Boulevard and will soon be closing as operations shift to the new site. This move aligns with Smart & Final's strategy of upgrading store spaces to provide a better shopping experience. The incoming Rosecrans Street location will offer a larger footprint, improved layout, and expanded product selection.
Founded in 1871, Smart & Final has grown into a well-known warehouse-style grocery chain catering to both household and business shoppers. The company, which operates under the Smart & Final and Smart & Final Extra! brands, provides bulk and standard-size groceries, fresh produce, meat, and household essentials without a membership fee.
San Diego County has several Smart & Final locations, including stores in Clairemont, Chula Vista, El Cajon, La Mesa, Escondido, and Carlsbad. The Point Loma relocation ensures that residents and businesses in the area continue to have access to the retailer's offerings. The transition from the Midway Drive location to the Rosecrans Street space is expected to be seamless, with minimal disruption to customers.Ìý
