I grew up in Los Alamos and remember shopping at that location when it was a Piggly Wiggly grocery store. There is much more detail here about its subsequent incarnation as the Black Hole and the activism of the man who owned it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Grothus

Sadly modern Los Alamos is only served by a single Smith's now. The old Furr's at Merrymac center is became a Smith's and now sits abandoned, the new Smith's being across the road where the auto mechanic used to be, and the White Rock Smith's is similarly abandoned

Ed's (Ed Metzger, who's family runs the hardware store, not the black hole) grocery, formerly next to the UNM campus, is long gone as well
