Most Smith's stores from the 80's and 90's seem to have one exit and entrance in the center of the storefront. These older Smith's are quite large for a conventional supermarket.kr.abs.swy wrote: ↑March 6th, 2020, 7:06 am This store has co-existed with a WinCo store that is essentially across the street for about 20 years.

I agree with StoreWanderer. It is silly to think that the Fred Meyer is positioned to capture the majority of this store's business.
The Smith's would have opened somewhere around 1989-1991. I have no idea whether that is owned real estate, but it could be that a 25-year lease with a five-year extension or a 30-year lease has come to an end.
I wonder why Smith's failed in SoCal in the 90's?
