New United Supermarkets in Lubbock

Post by pseudo3d »

Opened late June (about a month ago), here's a few articles:

The store features wider aisles in response to COVID-19 (probably an excuse for less SKUs) and an in-store location of local restaurant Evie May's Barbecue. What I can't find is how much square feet it actually is, all I can find it's "several thousand more square feet" than other United stores, which is still not going to come anywhere close to H-E-B's supersized store built in Lubbock (122k square feet, definitely one of the largest models).

After doing some digging, the store still clocks in at 68k square feet, which isn't small and definitely skews on the higher end of Albertsons/Safeway stores but still pretty shrimpy compared to what H-E-B is building and is even a bit less than some Market Street builds.
