United Invests $1 Million in Health and Wellness

LUBBOCK, Texas — Store tours and seasonal recipes are part of a $1 million investment in the growth of United Supermarket’s health and wellness programs.

“From offering fresh, quality products in our stores to providing expert nutrition education and advice, United is committed to supporting the health and wellness of our guests and team members," Robert Taylor, United’s chief executive officer, said in a statement.

United has expanded its health and wellness department by adding four registered dietitians who lead the health and wellness programs in stores and for the company.

United also implemented a new results-based team member wellness program internally, based on preventative screenings to encourage team members to either maintain their health or improve their health risk factors by adopting positive changes in their lives. Employees who show improvement on their health risk factors will receive a discount on their medical premiums.

Beginning today, Market Street locations will offer weekly tours with registered dietitians to help guests learn how to best support their specific dietary needs and achieve their health goals.

Additionally, Corporate Chef Chris Wilson will introduce the Market Street spring and summer Living Well menu, featuring seasonal items in new meals created to meet healthy nutrition guidelines set by United’s registered dietitians.

In early April, United will add “Dietitians’ Top Picks” to the current chain-wide NuVal nutrition scoring system.
