Through an interactive list of challenges linked to customers’ Rewards! accounts, United’s health-and-wellness team is ready to help shoppers create realistic goals, prioritize self-care and adopt positive habits.

To kick off the new year, The United Family has launched a 28-Day Challenge, a month of savings and prizes for customers as they embark on their 2024 wellness journeys. Through an interactive list of challenges linked to customers’ Rewards! accounts, United’s health-and-wellness team is ready to help shoppers at the retailer’s United Supermarkets, Market Street, Amigos and Albertsons Market banners create realistic goals, prioritize self-care and adopt positive habits.

“This 28-Day Challenge is all about giving guests an opportunity to get their 2024 wellness journey started on the right foot,” noted Brenda Garcia, health-and-wellness manager and registered dietitian at United. “When guests sign up, they can participate in daily challenges that help introduce and reinforce positive lifestyle habits. Each challenge they complete rewards them with entries for our grand prize of $500!”

Among these challenges are learning how to track progress, power up breakfast and increase fiber intake. Additionally, program participants can take advantage of activities, articles, quizzes and a range of other content to help them succeed. Also, for those seeking an experience beyond the digital space, customers in Lubbock, Texas, and the Dallas-Fort Worth area can sign up for a store tour with one of the retailer’s registered dietitians at a Market Street location near them.

“So many of us have the desire to use the new year as a catalyst for positive change in our lives,” added Garcia, “and we know that knowing where or how to start can be difficult. We hope this 28-Day Challenge will connect guests with tools to start their wellness journey or help keep them on track with what they’ve already started.”
