Schnucks Honoring Its Teammates on Fourth Annual Supermarket Employee Day
Teammates will receive 5,000 Schnucks Rewards Points
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 19, 2024 - On Thursday, Feb. 22, Schnuck Markets, Inc. is joining supermarkets and food manufacturers nationwide in celebrating the annual Supermarket Employee Day. FMI—The Food Industry Association has proclaimed this holiday to recognize employees at every level for the work they do feeding families and enriching lives.
With more than 40,000 individual stores that sell food and grocery items in the U.S. alone, many supermarkets serve as the backbones of their communities. Millions of supermarket employees come to work daily to keep shelves stocked and to provide communities with essential services that help them survive and thrive.
“The nearly 12,000 Schnucks teammates at our stores, facilities and offices throughout the Midwest make our mission to nourish people’s lives possible.” said Schnucks Chairman and CEO Todd Schnuck. “Because of their commitment to our customers, Schnucks has had the privilege of serving our communities for 85 years.”
To thank its essential workers, teammates that have a Schnucks Rewards account will receive 5,000 points ($10) as well as an exclusive, teammate-only digital coupon. In addition, Schnucks teammates will be celebrating with various activities throughout the week at each location.
Customers are urged to stop by their local Schnucks store to thank the teammates who serve them each and every day and are also encouraged to honor their favorite teammates in social media posts by using the hashtags #SupermarketEmployeeDay and #SupermarketHeroes.
“Through their reliable service in diverse circumstances, supermarket employees have earned our gratitude and respect, which is why we designate February 22 to celebrate them,” said Leslie G. Sarasin, president and CEO of FMI—The Food Industry Association. “Our gratitude goes out to the employees in our industry who personify compassion and courage when communities most need encouragement and assistance.”
