Schnucks looking at 2022’s first quarter to open new Columbia store

Schnucks is hoping to open its new Battle Crossing store on Columbia’s Clark Lane in the first quarter of 2022. The store is located near I-70’s Lake of the Woods exit.

Schnucks spokesman Paul Simon says that is the target date, barring any additional construction delays. The pandemic and a shortage of refrigeration materials have delayed the store’s opening.

Mr. Simon tells 939 the Eagle that the aim now is to open the store between January and March. St. Louis-based Schnucks plans to hire about 80 employees for the new store, which will also have a CVS pharmacy inside.

Simon encourages anyone who wants to work at the new store to apply online at schnucks.com/careers.
