To celebrate and thank customers for their patience during the remodel of its Seven Hills location, Schnucks will hold a customer appreciation event Nov. 7-8 at the store in O’Fallon, Illinois.
On Nov. 7, the company will host a ribbon cutting at noon and a complimentary wine and cheese pairing and bourbon tasting event from 4-6 p.m.
On Nov. 8, it will feature sampling opportunities throughout the store, as well as exclusive savings only available to customers there.
Shoppers will receive $5 in free Schnucks Rewards points and a free 12-pack of Schnucks soda (first 500 customers), beginning at noon. For kids, there will be a balloon artist and cookie decorating.
To mark the occasion, Schnucks will donate $5,000 each to community partners Challenge Unlimited and the O’Fallon Food Pantry.
Renovations to the 60,000-square-foot store include updates to nearly every area and department, including:
