New location will deliver exceptional everyday values and club-sized savings to local families and businesses

Smart & Final, the smaller, faster grocery warehouse store known for delivering value to both households and businesses, will open a brand new 25,000-square-foot location in San Diego’s Midway District on December 10. Located at 3705 Rosecrans St., the new store will offer Smart & Final’s signature mix of fresh groceries, club-sized options and one-stop convenience to the Midway District – a neighborhood in the midst of a transformation into a walkable entertainment, retail and residential hub.

To celebrate the opening, the Smart & Final Charitable Foundation will donate $20,000 to local nonprofit organizations dedicated to serving the San Diego community – honoring Smart & Final’s commitment to give back where it does business.

“Our goal is simple – to give customers more ways to save without sacrificing quality,” said District Manager Anthony Hofer. “This new Midway District store brings together expanded fresh offerings, convenient shopping, and the club-size values for which Smart & Final is known. We’re excited to support families, small businesses, and the broader community as the neighborhood continues to evolve.”
