Smart and Final stores were founded in Los Angeles California more years ago than any of the employees can count. They currently offer warehouse-like shopping in western states such as Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, as well as Oregon, Washington, and California.
With more than 200 stores available to consumers, Smart and Final is a warehouse store that can save you time at the market as well as money on the overall price of your purchases, cutting your grocery bill down to size. Their website, Smartandfinal.com brings you Smart and Final discount coupons and store specials, as well as home recipes and things that you can take advantage of to stretch your shopping dollar still further.
In 1871 the Smart and Final Stores saw their beginning in a town that would grow to be Los Angeles. Streets were at the time not yet paved and the buildings were either wood or sun dried brick. Los Angeles was nothing like the bustling city that you know today when a young man and his brother took on two partners to begin a wholesale bulk grocery store to sell things which were known to be the staples of the day. The store sold brown sugar, flour, medicinal products, tobacco and gunpowder for the small areas residents.
That store merged and remerged, emerging to be what we see today as Smart and Final. More than 150 years later Smart and Final survives as a company that offers nearly every product that you may need for cleaning, cooking, entertainment, and anything in between.
Large restaurants, catering companies, businesses and persons shop at Smart and Final in order to save money and gather all that they need in one stop. Saving time is as much a part of shopping at Smart and Final as saving money.

The Smart and Final website features a fact sheet for your use, as well as online specials and discounts, along with recipes and ideas for the use of Smart and Final products.

Last December I tried to purchase, at least twice, Martinelli Apple juice product for the holidays. Your store was out on those two occassions. I requested a raincheck and I was given one. Since then, I have stopped in to shop at least once monthly and requested a
purchase of a 3-pak of the Martinelli product. On none of those visits did your Anderson
Drive, San Rafael, CA store have any on hand, I was told.
This week, I was in to your store to try again along with my shopping list. I was so des-
perate to supply some Martinelli Apple juice to the kids at our upcoming July 4th party
that I took some loose bottles off the shelf, just have some on hand.
At the check-out, a scene developed. A very heavy set young lady vitually repremanded me
for taking loose bottles. I stated to her, that I had not found any 3-paks nearby where
the loose bottles were shelved. She said that she could not sell me the loose bottles at the same price. That was fine, but I then explained that I had tried to buy 3-paks aon at
least eight times since your coupon came into my possession. She called to someone unknown
to bring some 3-paks. I don’t know if they ever arrived, because she then asked another
co-worker if she could accept a six month old raincheck. I, of course, said a raincheck
is still a raincheck, even if it is six months old, BECAUSE YOU’VE NEVER HAD THE PRODUCT
AGAIN!
When the two ladies appeared not to know what to do, I requested to talk to the manager.
Your manager refused to come to the register to solve my grievance. What utter rudeness.
Depending on the response coming from this 30 minute Email, I intend to write to the state
attorney general, and the city and county suthorities about the offering of a product last December which was never available for sale.
In general, I find your store staff rude, uninformed and unhelpful (too busy, it seems),so
I may do my shopping elsewhere in the future. I wil tell all my friends, co-workers and my
family of my treatment at your store.
I still have your ad and my raincheck.
