The Schnucks Fresh store in Jasper, Indiana, a new store format for the retailer, will open on Wednesday, August 18. The 18,000-square-foot location will have a heavy focus on fresh departments such as produce, meat, seafood, deli, and bakery.
“We’re always excited to grow and expand our business by bringing Schnucks’ fresh quality products to new customers in a new market,” said Todd Schnuck, Schnucks chairman and CEO, in a statement. “Our mission at Schnucks is to Nourish People’s Lives, and Jasper customers will soon find out that we do this by not only making sure to address the food needs of our customers but also by nurturing the communities that we serve.”
The store will employ about 30 people, including Ted Walker, who will serve as store manager. Relocating to Jasper from Columbia, Illinois, Walker is a 40-year grocery veteran that has been with Schnucks since 2008.
