In part of Kroger's strange move to finally spend money on the legacy Smiths Stores in my area, the store in Gardnerville is the final legacy Smiths that needed remodeling. This store opened around 1995 as Smiths was expanding around California and featured a very cheap interior with the department names painted onto the walls. This store is also significantly smaller than any other Smiths in the area.

They did a similar, albeit more complete, remodel to this store when compared to the Sparks and Carson City Stores. This store received more work to its interior, more work to its exterior, and more significant changes as far as layout goes. This store was a lot more neutral to begin with as it has standard beige shelves and white floors, while Sparks and Carson had ugly tan shelves and ugly tan floors.
