Junior’s Supermarket History
Our Story
Back in 1978, the first Junior’s convenience store opened in Pharr, TX. 3 years later in ‘81, the first Junior’s Supermarket opened and quickly became a Valley hometown favorite. For over 40 years, Junior’s has served the 956 with 9 stores throughout the Rio Grande Valley, each built to be “just right” in size for an easy shopping experience. Junior’s Supermarkets stock local brands, Mexican products, locally grown produce, and the absolute best meat and poultry. Junior’s is proud to have created a hometown supermarket that employs local workers, serves local causes, and gives the 956 a place to call our own.
