B&R Thriftway will be Lowe’s in mid-March

The acquisition of the local B&R Thriftway by Lowe’s Pay & Save, Inc., will be complete in the middle of March of this year.

All Thriftway employees will be a welcome addition to the Lowe’s Pay & Save team, the company said.

In addition to the Clarendon store, the Lowe’s chain will take over the B&R Thriftways in Tulia, Hereford, Fritch, Borger, and Iowa Park.

Lowe’s Pay & Save has a company mission to bring low prices and personalized service to customers. Expansions and remodeling of stores have become commonplace as of late in order to provide clientele with the best service possible.

“As always, we are looking for ways to better serve our customers,” said founder Roger Lowe, Sr. “We live in a world that demands convenience, but convenience at a fair price. This acquisition will work towards that goal.”

The Littlefield-based chain of grocery stores was started in 1964, and continues to be family owned and operated. The philosophy of community contribution coupled with providing the best products at the best prices have enabled the company to grow to a total of 66 stores in West Texas and New Mexico.
