Hello A-J readers!
It’s been a busy week for openings and closings. Since Oct. 5, three businesses have either closed or announced pending closures, and three businesses have opened. We also learned about a robot that people will start seeing in several major grocery stores across New Mexico and Texas, including Lubbock.
On Monday, we published an article on the United Supermarkets’ inventory robots, known as Tally. It is part of a new improvement initiative that began in October across United, Albertsons and Market Street stores across the region. The robot will scan the aisles to track shelf inventory and sticker prices, then report back to the store’s team.
