North Las Vegas is getting a grocery heavyweight. Smith’s Food & Drug is moving ahead with plans for a roughly 122,000-square-foot supermarket at 900 W. Tule Springs Parkway, a project the company values at about $36 million. The store is slated to open in 2027 and would become Smith’s 48th Nevada location on a site of roughly 11 acres the company bought in 2024.
Project details
The plan came through in a company news release, detailed by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The paper reports the store will total about 122,000 square feet, carry a $35.9 million budget and target a 2027 completion. That opening timeline would also mark Smith’s 48th store in the state, according to the report.
Permits and site work
On the ground, Clark County records suggest early prep work is already in motion. An active dust-control permit tied to "900 Tule Springs Parkway" lists the project as "Smith's 339," with R&O Construction Company named as the contact. The county entry connects the project to a parcel of roughly 12.7 acres and shows permit activity stretching into early 2027, a hint that crews are expected to be busy this year. The filing appears in a recent report from Clark County.
Where it fits in North Las Vegas
The new Smith’s is part of a broader supermarket push in North Las Vegas as chains race to keep up with new rooftops and growing traffic. A nearby Albertsons build-to-suit and other grocery projects have been reported in the area, all pointing to rising demand across the valley. Like those competitors, Smith’s is lining up site work and construction schedules aimed at openings in the 2026 to 2027 window.
Site purchase and company comment
Property records reviewed by the Las Vegas Review-Journal show Smith’s closed on the roughly 11-acre parcel for about $14.8 million in a sale recorded in May 2024, according to the paper. In the company release quoted by the Review-Journal, Smith’s president Kenny Kimball tied the move directly to local growth, saying, "North Las Vegas is growing and we are excited to open a new Smith’s store in the area." The Review-Journal report includes both the sale details and Kimball’s full statement.
What shoppers can expect
Smith’s, part of The Kroger Co.'s family of banners, typically rolls out a full-service, large-format package at stores of this scale. The chain’s site and corporate pages describe the usual lineup: full grocery, pharmacy and deli under one very long roof. The Smith’s website, along with county permit timelines, indicates site work is expected to continue through 2026 with an eye toward occupancy the following year.
