| - They've only been open for a week, and I've been here all but one of those days! Mostly because of the $2 Starbucks grande drink special they were running during their grand opening week. I've noticed the crowds have died down over the days though. Probably because everyone in the city isn't coming by now that the novelty has worn off.
We were so excited when we saw the signs announcing that a Smith's Marketplace was under construction here. We had shopped at the St. George location before and thought it was odd that Vegas didn't have one! Just think of a Walmart Supercenter or Super Target minus the furniture and home improvement sections, but more upscale. Aside from groceries, pharmacy, and clothing; this Marketplace also features a beer/wine bar, Cousin's Maine Lobster, Starbucks, Chicken Co. fried chicken, Ruby Snap cookies, Murray Cheese, freshly made sushi, mocha ice cream and a self-serve salad bar.
They have plenty of checkout lanes, including dozens of self checkout kiosks. There is even a full seating area near the "food court", and self checkout kiosks in front of the seating area in case you'd like to pay and immediately eat your food.
Hopefully they will open more Marketplace locations across the valley, since this is the only one so far. I'm sure glad that they picked Skye Canyon though because I'm only one freeway exit away!
