Pink Products Pop for Breast Cancer Awareness

A check around West St. Louis County reveals quite a few interesting products available for purchasing in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

While some West St. Louis County retailers offer pink products in support of breast cancer awareness year-round, it is always interesting to see what new and novel items spring up during October—especially for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Lori Willis, director of communications for Schnuck Markets, Inc., told Patch their stores' breast cancer awareness offerings vary each year, depending on what items are recommended by their vendors. "We really enjoy drawing attention to breast cancer prevention by creating special packaging in support of our manufacturers," Willis said. "We have a strong health and wellness program at Schnucks, and want to make sure we also are sharing all our knowledge with customers and teammates." Willis said …

It's called pink washing. It is about making money. It infuriates me. Give your money to research or to advocates of cleaning up the toxins that can be a cause of cancer.   more ›

Construction Progresses for 'Boutique' Schnucks on Kehrs Mill

Patch takes a look at how the Schnucks building is shaping up as construction continues past an original "midsummer" opening goal.

The Schnucks Market being built at Clarkson and Kehrs Mill Roads is still making its way in construction since the idea first came about in Ballwin almost three years ago. Schnucks Communications Director Lori Willis originally told Patch in April that the store would seek an opening "sometime mid-summer, in July or August." Patch took a peek at construction progress Sept. 4, where, visibly, exterior walls were acquiring detailing and facade placement. RELATED ARTICLES:

That has got to be one of the ugliest fences they put up to block the store from the neighbors. Why didn't they do like Dierberg's did at several of their locations and at least make it attractive for the residents? This whole project is such an eyesore. Does schnucks not have any pride?   more ›

Schnucks Pulls Cantaloupe After Salmonella Warning

Consumer are advised to throw out any cantaloupe grown in southwest Indiana.

A Schnucks spokesperson has confirmed their stores have pulled out cantaloupe from an area and a farm which have been identified as a likely source of a recent salmonella outbreak.  The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services issued the warning this week. It said Missouri has 12 confirmed cases of Salmonella Typhimurium according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Cantaloupe grown in southwestern Indiana is the focus of the outbreak and consumers are advised to throw out cantaloupe from that area. It should be identified by a sticker on the cantaloupe. According to USA today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has identified Chamberlain Farms, in Owensville, as a source of the outbreak.  Schnucks …

Schnucks, When's the Summer Opening Of 'Boutique' Store?

Some of the parking lot is paved, and some windows are in place.

For this week of August 6-10, Schnucks has put in green sod along the 10-foot tall fence bordering residents' yards, curbs along paved parking lots, and glass in windows. The interior still looked dark from a distance.

Anyone know what is needed in weekly sales volume for this store to be deemed profitable? And, if it fails, who's head at Schnucks will roll?   more ›

Here's an update of the Schnuck's grocery ongoing construction at Kehrs Mill and Clarkson roads. The dry weather has apparently been good for construction, but the heat can't have felt very good. Any comments on the work?

In Case You Missed It

Here's Schnucks Again; Looking Good

This big project is looking closer to completion, with wall details.

A boutique Schnucks market under construction on a corner where the communities of Ballwin, Chesterfield and Clarkson Valley converge, now has decorative elements on the outside walls—evidence that the store is closer to completion. The grocery store is scheduled to open sometime this summer. The first day of summer is today, June 20. The store is on a former single-family-home residential lot that sat unoccupied for a time, before it was turned commercial, the house razed, all vegetation uprooted, and grading and building began. Some Ballwin residents whose homes back up to the lot have called for taller fences between the construction site and their own lots. Other residents have vowed to boycott the grocery store after the city okayed …

Sorry this travesty came to pass I don't live nearby but I intend to curtail my shopping with them in general...quite often I find many of Schuncks prices to be above all the other stores in the area.   more ›

'Boutique' Schnucks Has Roof, Entrance On Clarkson Road

Construction progress obvious at busy intersection.

A Schnucks grocery store under construction on a former residential lot at Kehrs Mill and Clarkson Road now has a roof, and an entrance off Clarkson Road. Wedged onto a V-shaped despite protests by neighbors whose homes back up to the now-parking lot, Schnucks has made remarkable progress toward opening the store this summer. The store fronts on Clarkson Road, but it appears the majority of customers would enter on Kehrs Mill, through the parking area. Schnucks has described the new store as "boutique" due to its smaller size than others, and that it would likely tailor its product line to local consumer tastes. The new Schnucks location would likely draw consumers from nearby Clarkson Valley, Chesterfield, Ballwin, and possibly Ellisville.

Cable TV Execs Are Sending a Clear Message to Customers

Charter execs who want to work from New York makes a lot of sense, unless you are a stockholder, employee and customer.

A trio of top cable TV executives were hired to save Charter Communications recently. Charter is a company that just a year ago a service truck was worth more than 50,000 shares of common stock. The trio is all from New York, having worked at Cablevision. They don’t want to move to St. Louis and want some of the current support staff to move to New York, where the plan to obtain office space in Manhattan. Here is some free advice to these big shots. Let’s look at the plusses and minus in this deal. Housing and costs You can buy a house three times as big as the one you own now for less money. You also see a lower tax rate on the house. Your grocery bill will be cheaper and gasoline won’t cost as much. There are the occasional tornado …

I live up in Northern Michigan where Charter has a cushy position of limited (true) competition and stone age customer service. I actually would like to be a customer, considering they are the only option, but after 3 years of asking for a line to be run to my home I have given up. Yes, I would have to pay for the line, but all I hear is silence from their "customer service". So, hearing the that…   more ›
