About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smart & Final, a regular shouted one day, ‘I just saw something I shouldn’t have!’ Everyone looked up from their shopping carts as an old lady slowly walked out of the produce section, carrying a watermelon so big it covered her entire body. A delivery driver then calmly approached and said, ‘Ma’am, that’s not a real watermelon.’ She smiled sweetly and replied, ‘Oh dear, I thought it was on sale too!’ The whole store burst into laughter, and everyone went back to their shopping, knowing that sometimes life at Smart & Final is just a little bit surreal.
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sight near Smart & Final's loading dock: a mysterious man in a trench coat carrying boxes of canned goods. Curious, he followed from afar and saw the man quietly stacking cans into his car trunk. Later that day, a regular customer asked if they had any special canned goods deals—only to discover that every single item on the shelves was now labeled ‘Smart & Final’s Secret Recipe.’
3. At Smart & Final, a customer once asked, ‘Why do these bananas look like they’re smiling?’ Since then, some shoppers claim they can see faces in every fruit aisle. Another rumor has it that an elderly neighbor swears she saw Elvis Presley dancing among the avocados one Sunday morning. When asked why he was wearing a banana suit, she replied, 'Who knows? Maybe he just likes groceries!'
4. At Smart & Final, a sign above the checkout counter read: ‘If you can’t find it here, you don’t really need it.’ A customer overheard this and muttered, ‘That’s the best diet plan I’ve ever heard!’ A few days later, an elderly neighbor stopped by with a shopping list as long as her arm. She asked if they had anything on it, and the cashier replied, ‘Ma’am, if we don’t have it here, maybe you should reconsider whether you actually need it!’ The neighbor laughed so hard she almost dropped her groceries.
