Smiths or Smith's may refer to:
Smith's Food & Drug Centers, Inc. was founded in 1911 in Brigham City, Utah by Lorenzo J. Smith. A subsidiary of The Kroger Company, it is a leading regional supermarket chain operating in the Southwest, Northwest, and Tennessee. After completing a merger with Portland-based Fred Meyer in 1997, Fred Meyer was in turn acquired by Cincinnati-based Kroger in 1999, making Kroger the largest supermarket chain in the United States. Its headquarters are in Salt Lake City.
Smith's began in 1911 when Lorenzo J. "Ren" Smith opened a small dry goods store in Brigham City, Utah. It was replaced with a larger store across the street in 1922, and renamed "Smith & Son's Market" in 1932. When his son Dee Glen Smith, great nephew of Joseph Smith Jr., joined the business after serving in World War II, he began immediately expanding it.
The company's growth ramped up significantly from 1946 onward. It changed its name to Smith's Super Markets in 1952. When Dee Smith took over as president upon his father's death in 1958, he discovered Brigham City was saturated, and felt the only option was to expand to other markets. Through partnerships and acquisitions Dee Smith built the company, until his death at age 58 in 1984. Later, Dee's son Jeff Smith became Chairman and CEO of Smith's. In 1989 the company completed its initial public offering and shares of the company started trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Why do you come here ?
And why do you hang around ?
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me ?
When you know, oh
Why do you come ?
Why do you telephone ? (Hmm...)
And why send me silly notes ?
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
Why do you come here
When you know it makes things hard for me ?
When you know, oh
Why do you come ?
You had to sneak into my room
'just' to read my diary
"It was just to see, just to see"
(All the things you knew I'd written about you...)
Oh, so many illustrations
Oh, but
I'm so very sickened
Oh, I am so sickened now
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
It was a good lay, good lay
Oh, it was a good lay, good lay
Oh, it was a good lay
It was a good lay
Oh, a good lay
Oh, it was a good lay
Good lay, good lay
It was a good lay
