The United Family held a ribbon-cutting ceremony March 5 for a 50,000-square-foot Albertsons Market in Lovington, New Mexico, the company’s first location in the community.
The store features a full pharmacy with drive-thru, meat service counter with fresh seafood, extensive beer, wine and spirits selection, full-service bakery with custom creations and a floral department offering delivery. Shoppers also will find ReadyMeals and other prepared food options.
Leadership speaks
“We are excited and proud to open this new location in the Lovington community,” said United Family President Sidney Hopper.
“It is beautiful, spacious and full of some of the best Albertsons Market has to offer. It is also especially meaningful to our company to expand our footprint in a community that has shown us so much love and hospitality.”
Hopper pointed to the store’s service mix as a differentiator for Lovington shoppers.
“From the drive-thru pharmacy services to the floral department’s custom arrangements, this Albertsons Market location will bring value, quality and great service to our guests in Lovington,” he said. “We can’t wait to welcome guests through the doors.”
Markus Stephens, store director, said service will be the location’s north star, drawing on his experience operating across the region.
“I have been serving guests across New Mexico and Texas for a long time and am excited to extend our exceptional service to Lovington,” Stephens said. “This store has a lot of amazing things to offer, but great service will remain at the core of what we do.
“This team will do their best to make every day great for our guests.”
