Representatives of The United Family joined city officials and other community representatives April 17 to break ground on the first United Supermarkets grocery store and fuel station in Andrews, Texas, which is slated to open in 2026.

Sidney Hopper, president of The United Family, commented on the new market and the company’s continued growth in West Texas.

“It is always exciting to enter a new community, especially one that has a desire for a new grocery store,” Hopper said. “We love West Texas, and our team can’t wait to serve guests in the Andrews community.”

Located in North Andrews, the new store will feature services that have become mainstays of all next-generation United Family locations, including a full-service pharmacy with drive-through, streetside grocery pick-up and delivery, ReadyMeals, fresh in-store bakery, floral department with delivery and a meat market.

In addition, guests will find an extensive selection of beer and wine. The store also will boast a full-service deli and hot bar with traditional favorites such as fried chicken, pizza, breakfast and fresh sushi.

“We are so excited to bring this new location to the Andrews community,” said Chris James, COO of The United Family. “More importantly, we are excited to bring our culture of exceptional guest service. This culture will be evident in every department of our beautiful new store and throughout the entire community.”

The store, which will bring about 150 jobs to the community, also will have a United Express fuel station and convenience store.
