The Lubbock grocery store chain — sort of a Central Market Lite — is aggressively expanding in the Dallas area. It wants to open three stores a year in the Metroplex for next several years, and expects to have locations in Frisco, Coppell, Plano and Flower Mound between this summer and 2009.
And, says spokesman Eddie Owens, Market Street (owned by a company called United Supermarket) is contemplating developing what it calls an urban hybrid store — smaller than the typical 70,000 square foot Market Street and more tailored to sites that aren’t in suburban strip centers.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that Owens didn’t know where Lake Highlands was (although he said the chain was looking at north Irving) and it doesn’t have a time frame for developing the urban hybrid stores.
