Profile: Schnucks opened a 21,000 square foot full-service, urban supermarket, called Culinaria in
August 2009. The store included a range of unique, ultra premium foods under the Culinaria.
Their success has led to a rollout of that brand into Schnucks’ other stores. Culinaria also offers
valet and delivery service. Overall, private label sales growth registered a double-digit gain.
Facing stiff competition in certain markets, Schnucks reportedly has had to adjust, selling nine
grocery stores and eight fuel centers in Memphis, TN, to Kroger Company in September 2011; but
then in the same month purchasing 11 supermarkets and one fuel center from Kroger in the
Rockford, IL, market, and continuing to operated them under the Logli and Hilander store banners.
