Schnucks buys St. Louis area grocery stores

ST. LOUIS Three supermarkets in the Illinois portion of the St. Louis metropolitan area have come under the Schnucks banner.

The supermarket chain has acquired the O’Fallon Hart Food & Drug, the Bethalto Park N Shop and the Godfrey Park N Shop. The first two stores will be changed to Schnucks stores, while the third will close, but employees at all three stores will be offered jobs with Schnucks.

The acquisition gives Schnucks a total of 105 stores.
