United Supermarkets Brings Freshness to Frisco, Unwraps its Newest Market Street Location

FRISCO, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Frisco's freshest face, United Supermarkets' newest Market Street
store, opens its doors today to customers looking for a unique grocery
shopping experience. With a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8 a.m., Market
Street - a world-class food concept store - serves the North Texas
community as a brand-new haven for fresh produce, gourmet meats and
cheeses, and a wide selection of quality items to meet every shopper's
needs. The 70,000 square-foot Frisco store will feature a
research-and-development kitchen, in-store health care clinic,
drive-thru pharmacy and the Dallas-Fort Worth area's first "A Taste of
Market Street" - a mini-version of Market Street within the confines
of the parking lot and designed for quick access and convenience,
complete with fuel station, bakery, gourmet meals to go, fresh produce
and many other items found inside the main store.

"United Supermarkets is excited to offer North Texas and the
Frisco community a shopping experience unlike any other," said United
Supermarkets CEO Dan Sanders. "Our Frisco store will have something
for everyone. For the gourmet chef in you, we offer the finest
produce, meats and cheeses to make those meals shine. For that
individual-on-the-go, he/she can utilize the drive-thru convenience of
'A Taste of Market Street' and pick-up a delicious meal and a few
other items without having to get out of the car. We're going to see a
lot of smiling faces enter this grand store, and we're going to do our
best to make sure those smiles savor the moment and enjoy all that
Market Street has to offer."

Market Street is a unique market that combines the everyday
groceries store guests need with the specialty items,
whole-health/gourmet products and pre-prepared foods they want. The
first store opened in Wichita Falls in 1998, and other stores followed
in Amarillo and Lubbock.

The Frisco Market Street location will be the anchor tenant for
Eldorado Market Place, a 400,000-square-foot shopping center at the
northwest corner of Eldorado Parkway and Dallas North Tollway. It is
the fourth Metroplex location for Market Street and second of three
new stores to open this year. The Allen location opened Feb. 29, and
the Coppell store is slated for completion in early November. Other
Metroplex Market Street locations are located in Colleyville and
McKinney and have been in operation since 2003 and 2004, respectively.

To highlight its arrival in Frisco, Market Street will be hosting
a series of events throughout the following week. On Friday, renowned
calligraphy expert and master engraver Ken Brown will engrave
purchased wine bottles for in-store guests, free of charge, from 9
a.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturday, Market Street welcomes the Disney Summer
Games, featuring Hannah Montana's Cody Linley, who plays "Jake Ryan"
on the hit show. Radio Disney will be onsite from 1-3 p.m. featuring
contests to coincide with Disney's Summer Games Promotion, and Linley
will be on-hand to participate in the games and greet fans.

On Sept. 6, Market Street presents "Back-to-School Bash" - a
celebration for the Frisco community featuring Cajun swamp rock band
L'Angelus. The event, which goes from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., will have BBQ
Semi Grill serving complimentary hamburgers and hot dogs. The band
will perform from 2:30 to 6 p.m., with Bill Mack emceeing the day's
festivities.

"We wanted to roll out the 'red carpet' to welcome all Frisco and
North Texas residents to our newest Market Street location," said
Robert Bollinger, store manager at Frisco's Market Street. "This is a
great opportunity for our community to experience Market Street and
have a grand time in the process."

Among Market Street's other features are:
