The decor in the two mentioned Smiths is not at all what is being used at any Ralphs. I also agree it's a very good looking store, I have spent several hours walking around the Henderson one. A superior operation in every way to Ralphs.
Smiths executes better than a lot of Ralphs and does it over a very wide geography and also in some challenging neighborhoods in Albuquerque and Las Vegas specifically. There are still some very good Ralphs that execute well closer to Los Angeles. The far flung Ralphs seem to have some issues. The problem is when "far flung" is less than two hours from Los Angeles. Ralphs should be able to do better than this...
