 “We are thrilled to be joining the Colleyville community with an innovative shopping experience that has something for everyone,” said Barron.  “Market Street truly is the place where everyday meets gourmet; customers in a hurry can grab a meal to go, while others can choose from a variety of everyday and gourmet items for the family or a special occasion.” 

Barron has worked for the company for almost 20 years, having served stores in Abilene, Amarillo and Lubbock.  He attended Texas Tech and he and his wife, Denise, have two children, Braxton and Natalie.  Barron was the “2002 Volunteer of the Year” for the March of Dimes Big Country Division, where he also served as vice chairman of the Board of Directors.  He co-chaired WalkAmerica, that group’s largest annual fundraiser, for 2002-2003. 

Barron will be assisted by Jason D’Onofrio, customer relations manager; Robert D. Nichols, center store manager; and Codie Hair, perishables manager. 

Market Street is a world-class food concept store from United Supermarkets, a retail grocery chain that traces its roots back to 1916.  The Texas-based, family-owned company operates 44 stores in 23 markets.  United Supermarkets still embodies the philosophy of its founders:  quality, value, customer service and community involvement.  Market Street is extending those same ideals into new markets, combined with a fresh approach to the grocery store experience.
