Fresh foods, traditional c-store offerings available at new smaller format store.

United Supermarkets has entered the convenience market, introducing its first United Express standalone convenience store location this week in Lubbock, Texas,  Chain Store Age reported.

The new United Express offers six fuel pumps, fresh foods and traditional c-store items.

“Our goal with United Express is to take the offerings and products such as prepared foods, which have been most successful in our A Taste of Market Street stores, as well as those on-the-go convenience items, and blend them where guests will see traditional offerings with a unique United flair,” said Chris Bridgford, the company’s director of fuel and convenience operations.

United operates 51 stores across north and west Texas under four banners:  United Supermarkets, Market Street, Amigos United and now United Express.
