Celebrating Our Sackers: The Road to the National Championship
At The United Family, exceptional guest service is at the heart of what makes grocery shopping an extraordinary experience.
One key role in providing that experience is our hardworking sackers, who ensure guests’ groceries are sacked safely and efficiently. This year, we are yet again thrilled to take part in the 2025 National Grocers Association Best Bagger Championship—a nationwide competition that has recognized the best in the business for the last thirty years!
Across our six regions, we recently held our best bagger contests, where each store’s top talent competed to showcase their speed, precision, and guest service skills. Each regional winner has earned a spot in our upcoming best bagger divisional competition, which will take place in Lubbock, Texas, on October 5. This event will be exciting as the six regional champions face off to see who will take home the $1,000 grand prize and represent The United Family on the national stage in Las Vegas! The runner-up will also take home a prize of $500.
Representing the Albuquerque region is David Givens-Coriz from Albertsons Market #939. Santos Ngo from United Supermarkets #527 will be representing the Amarillo region, while Naith Crisler from McKinney Market Street #561 is set to represent the DFW region. Michael Elliot from Market Street #543 will proudly represent the Lubbock region. Karina Villa from United Supermarkets #579 will compete on behalf of the Midland/Odessa and Eastern New Mexico region. Finally, Davy Powers from United Supermarkets #577 will represent the Wichita Falls/Abilene region.
Good luck to all our talented finalists as they prepare for the divisional competition—we’re rooting for you! Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to crowning our champion and sending them off to Vegas to compete and represent The United Family on the national stage! The 2025 Best Bagger National Championship winner will be awarded $10,000!
