Schnucks Supermarket was founded in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1939 by Todd Schnuck. The company grew rapidly and opened its first large store operation in 1947. By 1952, the company had opened a second location. The store symbol of a solider wasn’t added until 1968.
Today, Schnucks Supermarkets has more than 100 locations in 5 midwestern states. The company had annual revenue in 2011 of $206 billion. Schnucks is one of the largest privately owned supermarket chains in America.
In 2002, the company acquired 12 Seessel’s stores from Albertson’s. These stores were later sold to Kroger in 2011.
Schnucks announced in 2012 that the company had experienced a “system compromise” and that possibly as many as 2.4 million debit and credit card numbers were stolen. The problem has since been resolved, according to the CEO.
The company acquired 19 Shop N Save stores in the St. Louis area and in early November of 2018, began to rename and remodel these stores.

I have a question I asked this question awhile back never got an answer, I asked do the schnucks stores, Honor the OTC Cards that insurance’s are supplying theirs members with that helps them purchase fresh fruits and vegetables fresh meats, as well as some medical supplies, CVS, & Walgreens, and Walmart does, I love shopping at Schnucks, but I have to go all the to Walmart to shop, because they honor the card,and I do not particularly like Sav-a lot, they honor the card also, thank you for listening!

Trying to find how to get copy of weekly ad delivered by mail to my house. Used to get it in news paper but had to stop the paper was getting too expensive.

Store on 1160 Shackelford, Florissant, MO. I used the new self cash checkout today. Someone really messed up choosing the equipment. One, the coin insert is too low with the slot not in plain site. Either an arrow pointing to it or a led light around it. Two, the cash insert is too low and doesn’t accept older bills very well. They weren’t torn, just slightly used. If the bill isn’t firm enough, customers fight to get it inserted. The whole system is not very ergonomic for users. Screen and other parts were fine. Just a terrible choice to have customers use.

We wanted to thank all of your associates and employees for working so diligently through this awful crisis. My family has been truly blessed by the incredible people at the store on Vogel Road in Arnold Missouri. Everyone has been so helpful and kind in how they treat us customers and aid us in getting groceries and prescriptions. Please thank everyone of your people for us, especially the great folks at the Arnold Schnucks on Vogel Road. God bless you all and stay, be well.

I went to your schnucks store in Bridgeton to pick up my medicine . Notice that all the grocery carts had snow all over them. Those carts should be collected before store closing and be all wiped off for in the morning. That is why schnucks is only rating a 2.4 out of five. The baggers should not be collecting carts. That should not be there job should only to bag grocery unless you are paying them for doing more than one job. If not that you are using and abusing your baggers. Why don’t you hire somewhat just to collect carts and leave the baggers to there job. Everytime I bring up something to some of your managers they also have a excuses they do not solve the problem. I will let people who are looking for a job not to work at any schnucks because they will be used and abused by the owners of schnucks.
Austin Terwedo says
What world do u live in? Baggers have always done this. It’s called labor work. It’s not even that bad. And there are many reasons why schnucks is 2.4. They hire old folk to be managers that are use to getting their way. I worked at a deli part time. They had no official manager for the deli. One night they had me closing by myself. When you close a deli usually u either have the hot case side or the deli slicing side. I was told to close early. Which is what I did. A customer was sour at me after I explained the situation. And could not cut the deli slices she wanted since the saws were already cleaned and taken apart. ( if you don’t finish everything by the end of your shift they expect you to clock out and finish the rest) I was not going to do that. I’m not working for free. Anyway the lady left and went and told the night manager ( Dan I believe his name was) guy literally yelled from a distance basically telling me. “ oh you are gonna put the slicers back together and cut this meat! Idc if you are closing by yourself or what they told you to do) I then cut that bi**hes sh*t. And walked straight out the door. I was working two jobs up until that point. Lol I shouldn’t of cut her meat but I’m a decent guy luckily for her. The disrespect this manager gave me was bs. I was 23 at the time. I did the best I could when I was there but the organization is awful. I could say a lot more too. Moral of store schnucks only appeals to the white upper class rich prissy punks. They treat anyone who they may look down soon as less than. They will get theirs . Karmas a bi**h and death is her sister.

Schnucks Swansea deli is usually closed by 5:00 so I started going to Dierbergs. No problem there.
Marilyn Hubbard says
Just would like to weigh in on your very, very poor decision to ship in your pre-made specialty burgers (mushroom & Swiss/Jalapeño & Jack) they are not even close to the quality I’ve come to expect and appreciate from your local butcher counter. I will not continue to buy these poor excuse for hamburgers until you return to the past unbroken method. I’m thinking I need to check out Dierberg’s meat selection! Please, reconsider this obvious mistake on your part!!

you need to get a new webmaster ASAP.
after I spent a LOT of time and trouble typing
out compliments of two employee at the concord
village store, I tried to submit it numerous times and
it kept saying comment were incomplete. I tried again
and again and I hate wasting an hour trying to be nice
and compliment some hard working employees. fire the
webmaster and get a new site.
to save me time. Emily was a fantastic checker. fast, friendly
and smart with a big smile.
the bagger in the next lane wished me a good day, shook
my hand and was extremely friendly. I believe his name was Joey?
I forgot and I lost the paper that I wrote it on. anyway, schnucks
really do have the friendliest stores in town; but their website sucks!
Bob says
I noticed you don’t have the shopping list for the items circled anymore to print out. Butler hill store.
Lois Franklin says
Called and talked to one of your customer service gentlemen but not very nice, kind of rude. Ask if there was some place else that they could put the scented pine cones besides as you come in the door to get your carts, because lots of us with migraines one smell sets the headache off and you smell them while checking out. He just could not stop saying some smart things so useless to talk to someone who must think that people with migraines just have a headache. Was very unpleasant. Needless to say I could not get my shopping done.

I am a very loyal customer of schnucks market. my vehicle was hit by several carts being pushed down between cars by the cart guy. I placed a claim this has been a month ago. A lady by the name of Jane Holt at corporate offices called me back chipper and wanting to take care of the $1600 worth of damage on my vehicle. I provided 2 estimates and they agreed to pay the lowest amount to fix my vehicle. now 3 weeks later after she called my cellular phone leaving a message that a check was placed in the mail on 10/05/18. I called her several times to inform her of never receiving it. Now today she refuses to answer the telephone and they continue to hang up the phone when I ask to speak with a claims supervisor. no more. I am calling my insurance company and the news (Elliott Davis) to show ST. Louis how Schnucks treat their customers. This is not ethical and I will be placing my damage of my vehicle on social media public. I want results immediately and not be screwed around by big corporate companies 10/17/2018.

I am a disappointed former customer of Shop N Save that has watched all of my favorite brands (Everyday Essentials and Stone Ridge Creamery especially) suddenly disappear from the shelves of my local Shop N Save as they prepare to convert to being a Schnucks store, with the typical Schnucks product mix. I used to shop at Schnucks a lot in the past (I’m 70 years old and have always lived in the St. Louis / St. Charles metro area), but, in recent years, I’ve noticed the prices going up until Schnucks started to resemble the high priced Dierbergs supermarkets in pricing,but not quite in quality, in my opinion. Shop N Save occupied a convenient middle-ground, with good pricing and good quality in most of their products. Walmart is mediocre in both areas and Aldis is low end price-wise, although their quality has greatly improved in recent years and their limited choices have expanded somewhat.
I typically divided my shopping among all of the above, with the bulk going to Shop N Save and certain special items, that I like, purchased from the others. Now my choices are more limited.
I would like to suggest to Schnucks management that, instead of “throwing the baby out with the bathwater”, Schnucks could gain the patronage of former Shop N Save customers like me, if they made a deal with the former SuperValu wholesaler (past owner of Shop N Save and now SuperValu + UNFI or North American Premier Food Wholesaler) to carry the Everyday Essentials and, especially, the Stone Ridge Creamery lines in their new (and old) stores. That would certainly bring me into your stores and, I am sure, I’m not the only one.

Hello
Are there plans to build more Schnucks supermarkets like the one in Des Perez. That place is awesome. It really makes grocery shopping enjoyable and the atmosphere is great.
Thanks

I am disgusted at Schnucks dicision to revert to the revert to the out of date wage of $7.70 .per hour. I have shopped at Scnucks for the last twenty five years usually only Scnucks. Hopefully Dierbergs have more heart and care about their employees than just dollars ans cents
Richard Luptowski says
We love Schnucks and shop at the Cross Keys location weekly for food and our prescriptions. I understand Schnucks will start delivering? Awesome! I have developed a small magnetic flag that goes on top of the driver’s roof when then arrive at their destination letting the customer know “HERE I AM!” That is also the name of it. Very cost effective, no scratching, fits under the seat, glove box or in the pocket! I am waiting to get on “Shark Tank”, but thought I’d try it in our market first. Safely,and efficiently helping the customer! Keep up the great work at your stores! My phone number is (314)250-XXXXX My name is Richard Luptowski I live in Florissant.

I was at the Cross Keys Schnucks Sunday night around 11:15 p.m.. the store got crowded big-time. One cashier, he was busted as he was working great. I was the third person in line in at least 10 people behind me out of the corner of my eye. I saw a young white guy in employee of Schnucks was walking really fast, within two minutes he spoke with the cashier and then he said self checkout is open. The smile on the people’s faces was nice to see. Because the smile is nice to see when it’s 3 degrees outside. I went up to that young man and ask him what his name was he says Adam I told him I’m calling corporate office on them. And he looked at me and I said it’s not a complaint. I I said you’re management material for the way you handled that situation,. PS. That’s called loyalty to me. I’m 55 years of age I don’t see loyalty anymore in stores. Have a great day
