Store to host “Grand Opening” celebration on Saturday, August 17
COLUMBIA, Mo., Aug. 12, 2024 - Schnuck Markets, Inc. announced today that the rebranding of the former Eatwell Market store, located at 111 South Providence Road (65203), is complete and that the location is now a full-service Schnucks store. Customers of Schnucks Providence will immediately notice updates that include expanded product offerings throughout the store as well as new decor and signing. The store remains open 6 a.m. - 9 p.m. daily.
Customers are welcome to attend the “Grand Opening” celebration from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 17. The celebration will feature free samples, giveaways and huge deals on many customer favorites. Those attending the celebration are invited to bring or purchase non-perishable foods that will benefit the Tiger Pantry - the store’s longtime partner in fighting food insecurity and hunger in Columbia.
“We’re excited to offer area residents and students the unique combination of variety, value, convenience and service that Columbia shoppers have come to expect from Schnucks for more than 50 years,” said Schnucks Providence Store Manager Ryan Sweet. “To celebrate the completion of the conversion to a Schnucks store, we invite all to stop by on Saturday, August 17 for an afternoon of food and fun!”
Schnucks Providence is also offering a special Schnucks Rewards promotion to welcome college students back for the fall semester. All students who show their college ID and Schnucks Rewards app at checkout will get an extra $5 in Schnucks Rewards on their first five purchases at the store*.
The Providence location was acquired in bankruptcy from Lucky’s Market in 2020. Schnucks originally entered Columbia in 1970 with the acquisition of a Bettendorf-Rapp store, which was adjacent to the current Providence location. That location closed in 1993 when Schnucks opened its current 67,000-square-foot Forum Boulevard store. In 2022, Schnucks added the 48,000-square-foot Battle Crossing location. In total, the three stores employ 243 teammates. Schnucks also operates a fourth Mid-Missouri store in nearby Jefferson City which opened in 2002.
*Minimum $30 purchase - valid in store only at Schnucks Providence now through Sept. 30, 2024. Restrictions may apply; see store for details.
