Empowering Diverse Businesses: Schnucks Markets Launches Unique Accelerator Program with Mid-States Minority Supplier Development Council

Schnucks Markets, Inc., a family-owned grocery retailer founded in 1939 and based in St. Louis, is launching SchnucksSpringboard, a diverse-owned business accelerator program aimed at supporting local diverse-owned businesses. In partnership with the Mid-States Minority Supplier Development Council, the program offers education, resources, and access to opportunities to help business owners succeed.

To apply for the program, interested business owners can visit schnucks.com/springboard before May 12. Those selected to participate in SchnucksSpringboard will have the opportunity to conduct in-store product trials at select Schnucks stores, receive $5,000 in equity-free funding, and attend business development classes at Schnucks’ St. Louis headquarters.

In 2020, Schnucks introduced the Unity Is Power diversity, equity, and inclusion plan to increase targeted community support for racial equity organizations like the Urban League. Last year, Schnucks received the Civic Leadership Award from ULSTL for its efforts. The company was also recognized as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity in 2024 by Newsweek.

Schnucks Markets employs nearly 12,000 teammates across its 115 stores in Missouri, Illinois
