PROFILE |
 |
United Supermarkets is about as common in the Texas panhandle as tumbleweeds. The grocer has more than 40 supermarkets throughout mostly rural towns in West and North Texas. Its stores feature deli, floral, and bakery shops, as well as traditional supermarket fare and pharmacies. The company's newer store format, called Market Street, is much larger and stocks more specialty foods. United Supermarkets operates its own distribution facility. Henry Snell founded the company in Sayre, Oklahoma, in 1916 as United Cash Store. Snell bucked the norms of the day -- when grocers sold their wares on credit -- by selling his goods for cash at lower prices. United Supermarkets is still owned and operated by the Snell family.
