United Supermarkets has opened its newest location in Wichita Falls, Texas. The nearly 55,000-square-foot United grocery store marks the Lubbock, Texas-based grocer’s fourth location in Wichita Falls and 98th store overall, reports Winsight Grocery Business.
“We are so excited and proud to be opening this new location in the Wichita Falls community,” Sidney Hopper, president of The United Family, said in a statement. “It is beautiful, spacious and full of some of the best United Supermarkets has to offer its guests. Not to mention, it is especially meaningful to our company to put a United Supermarkets store in this neighborhood and bring commerce back to an empty building.”
United described the new Wichita Falls location as a “next-generation” supermarket. Highlights include a fresh sushi bar; a selection of over 2,000 beers and wines, with a special section for Texas beers; a Texas kitchen and cafe; a Ready Meals section; and Streetside online grocery pickup and delivery service. The store also features full-service bakery, floral and meat departments plus pharmacy with a drive-thru window, reports Winsight Grocery Business.
“This United Supermarkets location will bring with it an incredible product selection from its meat and seafood to its beer and wine,” Hopper added. “Guests who are familiar with our Market Steet banner will feel right at home in this store.”
“This store has a lot of new things to offer, but I also promise that this team will do their best to make it special every day. We are proud to serve this part of the Wichita Falls community,” stated Mitchell Veitenheimer, director for the Wichita Falls United Supermarkets store.
