While Smart & Final stores target both the food-service and household markets, the company also formerly operated Smart Foodservice Warehouse Stores (formerly known as Cash & Carry), which market to foodservice professionals.
The stores in Mexico are operated under a joint venture with Calimax. Since 2008, in some parts of the United States, Smart & Final Extra! operates. These stores contain a slightly larger footprint and larger assortment of goods.
