Grocery warehouse chain Smart & Final is bringing its Smart & Final Extra! concept to the Southern Inland Empire. The Commerce-based retailer is slated to open in Temecula on April 24, joining a Smart & Final store in Murrieta and a dozen other locations in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

“We’re thrilled to finally serve the Temecula Valley community with the very best Smart & Final has to offer, and we can’t wait to welcome customers to our new store,” said store manager Zulma Hernandez. “Whether you’re a budget-friendly shopper or restocking for your local business, we have everything you need to help save our customers time and money.”

To mark the opening, the Smart & Final Charitable Foundation will present two $2,500 donations to Jacob’s House, providing families impacted by medical crises with physical, emotional and spiritual support, and Green Acres Interactive Therapy, an equine therapy program designed to support children with mental health and behavioral needs. Founded in 1871, Smart & Final was acquired for $620 million in 2021 by Chedraui USA.
