Smith's Food and Drug, simply known as Smith's, is a supermarket chain that was founded in 1911 in Brigham City, Utah by Lorenzo Smith. Now a subsidiary of Kroger, it is a prominent regional supermarket chain operating in Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. After completing a merger with Portland-based Fred Meyer in 1997, Fred Meyer was in turn acquired by Cincinnati-based Kroger in 1998, automatically making Smith's a subsidiary of Kroger and making Kroger the largest supermarket chain in the United States. Smith's headquarters is in Salt Lake City.
