HEREFORD, Texas — The United Family celebrated the grand re-opening of its Hereford store on
Wednesday, Sept. 16, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside community leaders, guests and
team members as the location officially transitioned from Amigos to United Supermarkets.
The store, located at 520 N. 25 Mile Ave., continues The United Family's commitment to serving
Hereford while introducing guests to the United Supermarkets banner, expanded product offerings,
and additional services designed to enhance the shopping experience.
"We are excited to celebrate this new chapter for our Hereford store and the community we have
proudly served for many years," said Chris James, market vice president of operations for The
United Family. "While guests will notice a new name, an updated look and expanded offerings, what
remains unchanged is our commitment to delivering exceptional service and supporting the
Hereford community. We are proud to bring the United Supermarkets experience to Hereford and
continue building on the relationships our team has established over the years."
As part of the transition, guests will continue to find many of the products and departments they
have come to know and trust, while gaining access to an expanded assortment across the store.
New services include Drive Up & Go, The United Family's e-commerce platform that allows guests
to order groceries for pickup or delivery directly from the United Supermarkets app. Guests can
also take advantage of Flash Orders, which provide rapid fulfillment for last-minute grocery needs.
"This store may have a new name out front, but it's still the same great team serving Hereford every
day," said Tiffany Torres, store director. "We are excited to welcome guests into this newly branded
United Supermarkets store and provide them with even more products and services, while
continuing the outstanding service they expect from us."
The re-grand opening celebration also highlighted The United Family's ongoing commitment to the
Hereford community. During the ceremony, the company presented a $2,500 donation to the
Hereford Food Pantry in support of the organization's efforts to address food insecurity throughout
the area. A $2,500 donation to Hereford ISD, and a $2,500 donation to the City of Hereford to
support the youth fishing event this coming weekend.
"The United Family was founded in communities just like Hereford more than 110 years ago," said
Tony Crumpton, market vice president of merchandising and marketing. "This transition allows us
to better serve our guests with new products, services and conveniences while continuing to invest
in the community that has supported us for so many years."
Guests can continue enjoying the personalized service provided by the store's longtime team
members while taking advantage of the expanded United Supermarkets experience, including new
digital shopping options and a broader selection of products throughout the store.
