Smart & Final

Since I’ve been back, the service has been awesome every time. I’m very happy with the staff (as I was before the incident) and the environment is a friendly place to shop. The employees are very helpful!

pretty decent sized smart and final. always organized and well stocked. cashiers are friendly and come with good service. i always happen to come with my 2 toddlers and they always ask if i need a hand out to the car. it is a lot more convenient than the trip to costco. definitely love how huge the parking lot is. with me and 2 toddlers, the quick 30min park in front is always heaven sent.

Large shopping center parking lot… strange entrance and exits, but it’s okay once you get used to it. The store was clean and bright with a variety of food and non food items to choose from. No more club cards or phone numbers to enter… Everyone gets the same low price. They cater toward the small business owners with large size number ten cans or gallon size items… But small enough sizes for the regular shopper. I used to work for them a long time ago… Great company ! The checker, andie, was cheerful, courteous and fast… Like an experienced checker should be. Greeted me and asked if I found everything and thanked me at the end of the order. She gets five stars for her service. The store was small and could’ve used a little more variety, but that’s from someone like me who used to work in their buying department. So I have a little more insight than most.

Since they remodeled a while ago, I find myself going in a little more for things. Nice that they added more fresh produce and refrigerated sections.
The new Smart and Finals are a cross between Costco for bulk items and a grocery store for smaller box items. I like that I can go in and get cases of drinks and frozen stuff or just a dozen eggs.
Great if you like to cook, because sometimes you need a lot of one thing but then just a small package of another! Oh and then there are the serving trays and other odd ball things that they have always had for catering, hosting or sporting events.
One knock is that checkout can get backed up rather quickly. They usually open up more registers tho.

I can always find a great deal here, pleasant workers, always helpful. The manager is available to help and assist you with items you need. Thanks! Great team

Nice store though prices are through the roof. Lots of parking outside and the workers are pleasant and helpful.

since the upgrade of this location they have hired bunch of non experience people at register and their service is not friendly any more, i was told to put my grocery into cart. what happend to their great service before they expanded, take a lookup to yourself and improve or you will be out of here.

Great prices and great selection. Every time I make food for my church of 40 – 50 I always come here and shop. I can feed that many people by spending $ 70 here. They made some changes here a while ago and it’s a lot more family friendly. As in, smaller packed foods and such. Its very similar with one with on Figueroa in DTLA. I think smart and final extra is what its called.

Great customer service at this store. We needed items for our business and the store manager was great and said she would get them for us. She even offered to have our items shipped to the Pacoima store next to our house which has the worst customer service. We will make our drive from Sylmar just to got to a great store like this one even though the Pacoima store is 3 miles away.

Great place to get liquer at a fair price.

It is nice to have a Smart and Final near by when I forget to order bread… Duh?

Always clean always friendly

When I don’t want to make the monthly trek from Castaic to Costco, Smart and Final is your best bet.
Good place to buy water and their fruit is generally really good and at a good price.
We usually hit Smart and Final after our trip to LA Fitness which is right next door. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Great selection of items that are in between Costco and regular grocery stores. I like the fact that their cooking utensils are NSF which is restaurant quality. With a big family like ours, we need to have good quality stuff as i get frustrated with cheap quality.
Never any lines and the parking lot always offers a spot close by the front door. Very cool place to get ideas for entertaining, birthdays or just hosting a dinner.

I am so glad I found these guys. I can get the flour I use to make pizzas for less than 2 frozen pizzas. Cheese is incredible here, you can get pounds of it for what you pay for half a pound at walmart. Milk is 2 for 6 instead of 4 for 1. I love this place! Especially when you shop only 1 day a month!

I know what you’re asking: besides the office stuff (who else sells multi-​fold hand towels for office bathroom dispensers?), why go to Smart & Final?
Answer: their liquor prices are awesome.
For example — Jose Cuervo (1.75 liters):
Von’s & Ralph’s: $ 35.99
Smart & Final: $ 20.99
’Nuf said.

This S&F opened last year in Santa Clarita in a hard to find shopping center in Newhall Ranch. So most locals probably don’t even know it’s here. Thus it took this long for the first Unilocal!review of this location. Store is Sam’s Club or Costco for those who don’t want to cough up the membership fee. Which is why the prices are a bit higher but unlike Sams or Costco, they do sales so if you wait a little, you can really do well. Case in point, I recently got a five gallon tub of their First Street Ice Cream for $ 3.99 when Sams recently upped their price to past five bucks. That’s ‘Wholesale’? Even S&F’s regular price is lower than Sam’s and they offer a lot of flavors beyond Vanilla and Neopolitan. They even have Dulce de Leche (Caramel) in the five gallon tubs! Where else are you going to find that? They have a decent beer and liquor selection but not as good as the one in Santa Monica. The baked goods are nothing special as there’s no actual bakery so Sam’s and Costco kill S&F here. And of course, no department store type offerings. Just food, drink and cleaning supplies for the most part. It’s an OK store but I don’t run here too often. Especially with Costco within walking distance of my place.
