Since moving to downtown St. Louis in 2003, grocery shopping has always been a little bit of a hassle - more now than ever. For as long as I can remember I always have shopped at the Clayton Rd. Schnucks, which is convenient, but sometimes cumbersome. Now that 64/40 West is closed from Kingshighway to 170, everything is harder! Relief is finally here! They are finally opening a Schnucks downtown! The store is slated to open this summer, and will be just blocks from our condo. They are making it a new urban concept store- which essentially means it doesn't have the space to be a full store but will make it up with a grocery delivery service and valet parking - what more could you want!
The only thing which makes this new addition bittersweet is the impact it will have on City Grocers. They have been around for a few years, and it has grown in that time. I hope they are able to sustain the big grocery store coming to town and possibly change their angle and offer us something that Schnucks will not.

How exciting that the Schnucks is almost open but yes, too bad for City Grocers. I love that little shop!
