The United Family® today announced the launch of a new smartphone application (app) to support the company’s 57 in-store pharmacies at United Supermarkets, Market Street, Amigos and Albertsons Market locations throughout West Texas, Dallas-Fort Worth and New Mexico. The app is designed to provide guests a quick and easy way to refill prescriptions, in addition to the company’s auto refill programs and text alerts.
“Our new pharmacy app was launched to meet the demand of an easy digital solution for guests to manage their prescriptions,” said Tim Purser, director of pharmacy for The United Family. “With convenient features to locate, fill and pickup prescriptions, the app is a new way to provide excellent services for our guests.”
To download the free mobile app, guests can visit www.unitedtexas.com or search for the “United Market Rx” app, which is available for iOS and Android operating systems.
The new app accompanies MyRxClub, which was launched in 2014 to allow guests to save money on brand name medications, generic prescriptions and flu shots. Members are eligible to receive discounts on hundreds of everyday prescriptions, including a 30-day supply of select generic medication for as little as $3.99 and a 90-day supply for just $9.99. However, guests do not have to be members to use the new app.
The United Family of stores’ pharmacies offer routine vaccinations on a walk-in basis, including protection against the flu, shingles, pneumonia, tetanus, meningitis and more. In addition, each pharmacy features a Higi Station, which is a free method for guests to quickly monitor their health, including blood pressure, heart rate, weight, body composition and body mass index
In July 2015, The United Family also expanded the company’s pharmacy services with the launch of “PetMeds,” which allows guests to fill prescriptions for their four legged family members in-store and online.
