Schnucks will open its sixth store in southern Indiana—in Evansville—with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 11, beginning at 8:45 a.m.; the store will open at 9 a.m.
The new 59,000-s.f. full-service grocery and pharmacy features service meat and seafood departments; a service deli with sliced-to-order specialties, including Boar’s Head meats and cheeses; a floral department; a fresh bakery and a salad bar; and traditional grocery departments. Schnucks’ full-service pharmacy expedites prescription pick-up with a convenient drive-thru window, according to the grocer.
Schnucks Chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck says the loyalty and patronage of Evansville area customers allows the company to expand once again in the region.
“We have been serving the Evansville area since 1977, and we value our great customers in southern Indiana,” says Schnuck. “Their appreciation and support of Schnucks make it possible to bring this new store to the area.”
Scott Berry, a 36-year Schnucks veteran and former store manager at the North Green River Road location, will take the helm of the new store.
“We’re very excited to bring our combination of quality, value, variety and service to another Evansville location,” says Berry. “We look forward to serving customers familiar with Schnucks as well as introducing new customers to our products and services.”
Joining Berry in a leadership role will be co-manager Brian Kissel, who comes from Schnucks’ Evansville East location.
The new Schnucks store is located at 600 East Boonville-New Harmony Road near Darmstadt. It will employ approximately 120 people. After opening day, regular store hours will be 5 a.m.-midnight.
St. Louis-based Schnucks currently operates 98 stores in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa.
