Long‑Awaited Grocery Anchor Arrives: Smith’s Marketplace Nears Grand Opening in Henderson
Henderson Residents Get Ready for a New Shopping Hub Over at Galleria Commons
In the heart of Henderson’s bustling retail corridor — over by the old mall section at the Galleria Commons (between West Sunset and West Warm Springs Roads) — locals are gearing up for the arrival of the next‑level grocery experience from Smith’s Marketplace. The building shell is up, the signage is pending, and word from the company is that an early 2026 opening is on the horizon.
A Game‑Changer for Grocery in Henderson
It’s not your average supermarket. Smith’s parent company Kroger Co. has confirmed that this Henderson location will span just under 130,000 sq ft, and will include everything from supermarket staples to pharmacy services, electronics, and even a fuel centre.
The development got its approval from the city in February 2023, and now it awaits final permits and relocation of existing tenants before full steam ahead.
For a city that’s seen lot of growth — but not always full‑service retail windows move in quickly — this is a major win for residents of the area.
What to Expect When It Opens
Here are some of the headline features that locals can look forward to:
Wide‑open floorplan spanning grocery, home goods, apparel & electronics
On‑site fuel station so you can fill your tank while grabbing groceries
Pharmacy & health services integrated into the centre‑aisle experience
Massive scale: this is branded as a “marketplace,” not just a supermarket, with the ambition to be a one‑stop for many needs (not just weekly produce runs)
Why This Fits the Henderson Scene
Henderson has been steadily growing, and residents around the Galleria Commons area have been waiting for a full‑service anchor to land. The Smith’s Marketplace model has already landed in Cadence (opened in 2022) and now the second Henderson location fills another gap.
By bringing together groceries, household goods, pharmacy, and fuel under one roof, it aligns with the “convenience‑plus” vibe of suburban retail in 2025.
And yes, you might still make the “I just popped in for milk and left with a new blender and a tank of gas” joke — but that’s part of the charm.
Mark Your Calendar
While the company hasn’t locked a specific date yet, “early 2026” is the expectation. Keep an eye on signage at the Galleria Commons plaza, and you’ll likely get word of the opening.
