The United Family has unveiled its 100th store with the grand opening of a new Market Street in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. This location, the third Market Street in Rio Rancho and the first in the state built from the ground up, officially opened to the public on April 25th, following a ribbon-cutting ceremony the previous day. The store represents the latest development of the company’s upscale Market Street banner, offering a blend of gourmet, everyday grocery, and specialty services.
Located at 2200 Unser Blvd SE, the new Market Street features a drive-thru pharmacy, online shopping with curbside pickup and delivery, and a concierge service to assist with catering and event planning. Shoppers can enjoy a variety of fresh food options, including a Chopsticks Noodle Bar with sushi, a high-end meat and seafood counter, and an extensive selection of beer, wine, and spirits. Notably, this store marks the New Mexico debut of SMōK’D Pit Barbecue, The United Family’s in-house barbecue brand known for its slow-smoked meats and traditional sides.
Sidney Hopper, president of The United Family, expressed enthusiasm about the new store, stating, “We can’t say enough about how excited we are to introduce the Market Street brand to the community of Rio Rancho. The store is beautiful, spacious, and full of the best that Market Street has to offer its guests. Not to mention, it’s especially meaningful to our company that this store marks our 100th location. It couldn’t be in a better community.”
Dan Szuch, the Store Director and a longtime New Mexico resident, emphasized the company’s commitment to exceptional customer service, noting that the team is dedicated to making every shopping experience extraordinary for guests.
The United Family, a Texas-based grocery chain and wholly-owned subsidiary of Albertsons Companies, operates stores under several banners, including United Supermarkets, Market Street, Amigos, and Albertsons Market, across Texas and New Mexico. The opening of this new Market Street location underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to growth and community engagement in the Southwest region.
