Schnucks Markets will permanently close its store at 1501 Creston Park Drive in Janesville, Wisconsin, at 6 p.m. on Sept. 21.
All 57 Janesville employees will have the choice of a transfer to a Schnucks store in the Rockford, Illinois area or a severance package. For those who transfer, Schnucks plans to place employees in comparable jobs earning the same rate of pay, doing a similar type of work and working a similar number of scheduled hours per week.
“We salute our teammates’ valiant efforts while serving the Janesville community and thank our loyal customers for their more than two decades of patronage,” said Schnucks Chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck. “The decision to close a store is never an easy one to make; however, the Janesville market has evolved, and we’ve decided it’s time for us to exit.”
Schnucks Janesville customers can continue to earn and redeem Schnucks Rewards points until the store closes. After this time, customers can continue earning and redeeming Schnucks Rewards points at any other Schnucks location, including those in the Rockford area.
Schnucks opened the 64,000-square-foot Janesville store under its former Logli banner in May 2002; the store was rebranded to Schnucks in 2013.
