Market 33, located at 5811 S. Western in Amarillo, is shutting its doors by July 30, the business announced via social media this week.
“It’s with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Market 33,” a Facebook post reads. “Almost 6 years ago, we embarked on a journey to serve the southwest part of Amarillo with a grocery store that provided a unique selection of specialty foods along with everyday staples. Additionally, we are proud to have carried the most extensive selection of craft beer and wine that the Texas Panhandle has ever seen. This is not a decision that we have made lightly, but it is a decision that we have been led to with great peace.
“By closing Market 33, we will be able to better focus our resources and efforts on our Hispanic format at Fiesta Foods. We have recently remodeled the location at 10th & Arthur, which now offers a larger selection of produce, a full service meat counter, and even more authentic Hispanic brands in addition to the staple items that you have grown to love.”
The post said the company looks forward to serving the Amarillo community for years to come.

Along with various grocery items for sale, Market 33 included a tasting room that offered beer, wine and spirits. It was rebranded in 2020 from Fiesta Foods Cost Plus, which had opened the year before at that site in south Amarillo.
The company said Market 33’s doors will be closing by the end of July, and beginning Wednesday, sales would be up to 30% percent off various items in the entire store as they work to clear out all of its inventory. “We invite you to come stock up your pantries, wine cellars, and beer fridges. Our doors will remain open while supplies last,” the post said.

While the chapter is closing on Market 33, the company noted “it’s not the end of the book” and said the legacy will continue for Fiesta Foods in Amarillo, which began in 1978.
“While endings can be difficult, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to our teammates (both past and present) as well as our customers for making Market 33 a truly unique experience,” the post said.
