Schnucks Markets expands curbside pick-up

St. Louis-based Schnucks Markets has expanded its curbside delivery program to 30 stores.

The company announced that it also now allows customers to order online to earn Schnucks Rewards on all delivery and pickup orders. The earned points will be available within 24 hours of the purchase.

The company’s Schnucks Rewards program pays customers back for their purchases by providing 10 rewards points for every dollar spent, according to the company. After earning 1,000 points, the customer will be rewarded with $2 off a future Schnucks purchase. Customers may redeem rewards as they are earned or allow them to accumulate, up to $500.

“We know that busy shoppers are looking for ways to maximize their time, and Schnucks Delivers offers customers the convenience of someone else taking the time to do their grocery shopping for them,” said Schnucks’ Chief Business Development and Transformation Officer Ryan Cuba. “With curbside pickup, our customers can get their full grocery order without ever having to leave their vehicle and they can quickly resume their day.”

The expansion of the Schnucks Delivers Curbside Pickup now includes 30 stores total in the St. Louis metro area as well as Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Evansville, Ind. Customers can select a pick-up time between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. and will receive a text with store parking information and a phone number to call when they arrive. The grocery order is kept in a designated area of the store, with temperature-sensitive items appropriately placed in refrigerators, freezers and hot bags. When a customer arrives for pickup, a Schnucks employee will deliver the items to the customer’s vehicle.
