Schnuck Markets Inc. announced that EatWell, a natural food store by Schnucks, will open its first store Wednesday, June 24. In May, the company announced the 42,000-square-foot former Lucky’s store will focus on consumers prioritizing health and wellness, natural foods and the occasional splurge. The store has undergone an extensive remodel ahead of opening as EatWell. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is being planned to commemorate the launch of Schnucks new store format.

“I’m excited for our customers to discover all that we have in store for them at EatWell, including organic produce, a natural living section, freshly squeezed juices, as well as clean-label indulgences,” said Schnucks Chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck. “EatWell will also have unique features such as full-service sushi and ramen bars open for lunch and dinner.”

The store will also feature grass fed beef, sustainable seafood and deli meats fresh-roasted in the store. To add to the experience while they shop in the store, customers can enjoy a local draft beer, root beer, kombucha, a glass of wine or a variety of beverages whipped up by the on-site barista.

EatWell will employ approximately 80 teammates, most of whom joined from the former Lucky’s store. In an effort to be mindful of the COVID-19 pandemic, customers who visit the store will be reminded of the importance of social distancing and encouraged to wear face coverings.
