| - Since Von's sold off their locations, this place is super busy in a most frustrating way! Parking stinks and the lines to check out are tremendous! I am usually there early to avoid the crowds. This serves a lot of Seniors (due to proximity of Sun City Summerlin) and many of them are not shopping that early, so if you're there before 9am, you're in good shape.
This store has a pretty good variety and also a Kosher section if you're into that. Also, Smith's pricing blows away Albertson's and I would even say Walmart as well from what I can tell -as long as you have the Smith's card and take advantage of the items on sale that is.
Having said all of that here's a few things that need improvement that they have control over -
1) Don't go to the bathroom here. Holy cow, it seems like I always gotta go when here at the store and the floors in the restroom are laughable about how far you need to stand away from the toilet or have your feet spread to avoid standing in urine. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Yes, we're talking about urine in the supermarket review folks. The struggle is real!
2) Don't go later in the evening. They hardly staff any checkouts after 8pm and after 10 or 11 (one of those), they don't staff ANY and want you to do the self service checkout. I HATE self checkout. I was not trained to work those and always screw it up. I have no idea how to check out and more than once I left my cart there and left empty-handed in frustration. Yeah, that was ME Smith's!
Ok, now that I got those two items off my chest - Despite some frustrations, I think this is the best place in my neighborhood to buy a full load of groceries. If you want only fruit or meat, go to Sprouts on Lake Mead/Buffalo (prices are good for those items only).
Have a nice day.
