Schnuck Markets will close its Shewsbury, Missouri location at 7057 Chippewa Street on Sunday, June 27. The store’s 57 teammates will continue to work at other area Schnucks stores where they will retain the same rate of pay.
According to the retailer, the store has experienced poor sales since its October 2018 acquisition from SuperValu.
“Anytime a store lease comes up for renewal, we review its past and current performance as a normal course of business. Even in the midst of the pandemic when other stores saw growth, our Shrewsbury location continued to underperform,” said Schnucks chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck, in a statement. “We thank our loyal customers of that location and ask them to consider visiting us at one of our other nearby stores. We also thank our teammates for giving it their best and will work with each of them to find a nearby Schnucks location where they can continue to provide excellent customer service.”
Following this closure, Schnucks will operate 110 stores, including 79 in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Later this year, Schnucks will open a new store in Jasper, Indiana, the company’s seventh in the state, and following that, its third store in Columbia, Missouri.
