PALM SPRINGS, CA-Investec Real Estate Cos. of Santa Barbara, CA has broken ground on a new $17.5 million, 60,000-square-foot shopping center called Gene Autry Plaza that will include the first Smart & Final Extra! store to be built from the ground up.

Smart & Final Extra! is a new store concept for the Los Angeles-based retail chain.

The Extra! format features an expanded selection of products in categories like frozen foods, dairy, deli and grocery as well as basics like cereal, yogurt, bread and snacks.

In addition to the Smart & Final store, the new shopping center will include a Staples Office Superstore, a Starbucks, a Goody’s Café and 11,500 square feet of shop space. Gene Autry Plaza is part of a 60-acre retail development that includes a Wal-Mart Supercenter, Office Depot, PetSmart and Lowe’s Home Improvement Warehouse.
