The chain is considered by some industry analysts as being a no frills brand of store.[1] In addition, the chain promotes itself as having a user-friendly store layout designed for speed and convenience. Another one of the chain's specialties is in carrying a high number of ethnic foods, such as the store in Richmond which has fully half of its products being Asian food.[2]

As of September 7, 2015, 14 of 16 PriceSmart locations have been converted to Save-On-Foods, with the few others remaining as PriceSmart.[3] The remaining PriceSmart Foods stores will focus on ethnic (primarily Asian) products and specialties.
