Smith's Marketplace (Sunriver)

Smith's at 4582 S. Pioneer Road, listed by Smith's as Sunriver Smiths Marketplace, is the company's southernmost St. George store, serving the Sun River area on the south end of the city. It is operated by Smith's Food and Drug Centers, Inc., part of The Kroger Co. family of stores. Hours are 6 a.m. to midnight every day, and the main store line is (435) 215-1100.

Groceries and Fresh Departments

Smith's official page lists a bakery, deli, meat department, seafood department, cheese counter with Murray's Cheese, floral department and a balloon center, along with natural and organics, kosher foods and an expanded grocery selection. Ready-to-eat options include sushi and rotisserie and fried chicken, and there is a Starbucks inside. For home cooks who want a shortcut, the store carries meal kits and Home Chef, and deli and bakery orders can be placed online in advance.

Home, Kitchen and Apparel

Beyond food, this store lists home goods, home fashion and decor, a Kitchen Place section, apparel, shoes, and books and magazines. For residents in the newer neighborhoods on the south side, that means everyday household items are available without a drive north into the center of town.

Drive-Thru Pharmacy and Health Services

The pharmacy, with a drive-thru window, can be reached at (435) 215-1005. It is open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, closing daily from 1:00 to 1:30 p.m. Smith's also lists walk-in flu, strep throat and strep testing here. Given that Sun River is known as an active-adult community, a nearby pharmacy with a drive-thru is a practical convenience for many households in the area.

Fuel, Propane, Pickup and Delivery

The store's fuel center sells gasoline and diesel and has its own line at (435) 215-1840. Propane is also listed, which is handy for backyard grills and RV travelers. Groceries can be ordered online for curbside pickup, in-store pickup, or delivery. Money orders, money services, Western Union and self-checkout round out the services.

Serving the South End of St. George

The south end of St. George, including Sun River and Bloomington, has been one of the fastest-growing parts of Washington County. Many new residents here are retirees and families who moved from larger cities, and a full-size grocery store close to home means shorter drives in summer heat that often passes 100 degrees. It is also a convenient stop for visitors stocking a vacation rental on the south side of town, or for campers loading up before heading to one of the area's camping and RV spots.
