Smith's Food & Drug Centers, Inc.
 PROFILE
From a small grocery store founded by Ren Smith in Brigham City, Utah, Smith's Food & Drug Centers has grown into a regional powerhouse, operating supermarkets in Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. Its 115-plus stores are conventional supermarkets, most with drug and pharmacy departments and many offering bakeries, one-hour photo labs, and other services. It operated the Smitty's chain until Fred Meyer assumed its operations and converted the stores to Fred Meyer Marketplaces. It also ran 10 PriceRite warehouse stores until transferring them to sister chain Ralphs Grocery. Smith's became part of the Kroger family when Kroger, the #1 US grocer, bought its parent, Fred Meyer, in 1999.
