Schnucks Markets Inc. has completed the rebranding of its former Eatwell Market store at 111 South Providence Road in Columbia, Missouri.
Customers will 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.
The grocer will hold a “grand opening” celebration from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Aug. 17. The celebration will feature free samples, giveaways and deals on popular products. 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 Ryan Sweet, store manager.

The Schnucks Providence store is also offering a special promotion on its rewards program 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 the 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.
