Cub opened a new store May 15 at 1750 County Road 42 in Burnsville, Minnesota, which replaces the town’s previous location that closed last year.
The store introduces Cub’s “Shop Happy” brand platform, which the company says emphasizes small joys in the shopping experience, such as fresh and local finds, deals and customer service.
“This store represents more than a rebuild – it’s a bold step forward in Cub’s future, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have that step take place in Burnsville,” said Andre Persaud, president and CEO of UNFI Retail / Cub.
“From our fresh new look and feel to the way we talk about joy and simplicity, our new platform and store design are part of the way Cub is repositioning for the next generation of grocery. You’ll see this new vision come to life all summer across our stores – but we’re excited to kick that off right here.”
