Safeway Smithers is a typical supermarket that offers a good selection of products, making it a convenient place for one-stop shopping. The store is generally clean with easy access to items, and the bakery and deli departments are praised for being helpful and offering in-store baked goods like cookies and cinnamon buns. The staff are friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, the store can get very busy, especially at checkout, where there are few open check stands and no self-checkout, leading to long lines. Some shoppers noted that a few products, such as frozen vegetables, have been out of stock for months, and prices seem to be rising. The store also features a Starbucks inside, though not everyone visits it. A concern raised was that cashiers sometimes scan personal cards improperly, which is against policy. Overall, Safeway Smithers provides a good variety of items and helpful staff, but shoppers should be prepared for busy times and occasional stock shortages.
Traveled throughout BC and this Safeway is probably the best. Fresh fruits and vegetables.

Little overpriced to be expected for a small town, but has everything you need.
