Construction Set to Commence on New United Supermarkets Texas Location
United Supermarkets, a Texas-based grocery chain, has announced plans to open a new location in Seminole, Texas. The new store will be located at the southeast corner of Hobbs Highway and 21st Street, replacing the existing United Supermarkets location in the town.
The announcement and necessary municipal approvals for the project were made in mid-2025. The Seminole City Council approved a waiver for the United Supermarket project around late July 2025, facilitating construction plans. While exact construction start and end dates are not specified, the groundbreaking ceremony and construction timeline details are expected to be revealed shortly.
The new United Supermarkets location will offer United's signature customer service and feature various amenities, such as a full-service pharmacy with drive-through, Streetside grocery pickup and delivery, an in-store bakery, a full-service floral department with delivery, an expansive beer and wine selection, and a full-service meat market. The store will also have a full-service deli with fresh, hot foods; ReadyMeals; and a dining area.
In addition to the full United Supermarkets store, the project includes a United Express convenience store with a fuel station, reflecting a combined grocery and fuel retail presence. United Supermarkets operates 40 convenience stores under three banners: United Express, Market Street Express, and Albertsons Market Express.
United Supermarkets LLC, also known as The United Family, is a grocery chain with stores in 54 communities across Texas and New Mexico. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Albertsons Cos. Inc., which operates stores across 34 states and the District of Columbia under more than 20 well-known banners.

Recently, a new Market Street location opened in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The new United Supermarkets location in Seminole will be a 49,000-square-foot ground-up store, offering new items across its departments. With the implementation of United Express, customers can redeem rewards points on fuel for up to a $1 off per gallon.
