| - Perfectly acceptable large moderately high-end supermarket. I disagree with the other posters that this store has a good selection of unique and specialty foods. Yes, they do have an olive bar and they often have produce you wont find at Wal-Mart or County Market, however, this selection is really not that great. If you have a specific need, I suggest calling around to Sunsinger, World Harvest, the Co-op, Art-Mart, or even Urbana Meijer before checking this Schnucks. Their cheese selection is no better than County Market.
One thing I give them props for is their sushi. It is still crappy grocery store sushi, but for grocery store sushi it is as good as it gets. I suggest getting it around noon, and forget about the brown rice sushi- its terrible.
The prices are consistently higher here than County Market, Meijer, and Wal-Mart and IGA. The comparison to Dominicks of Chicago is apt in this regard, however I think that this store is not quite that high-end in overall quality. I peg Schnucks' around the neighborhood of most Jewel stores.
Liquor/beer/wine selection is darn good for a grocery store, but they have a ridiculous booze policy: they card everybody you are with, so if somebody accompanying you doesn't bring their ID with them, they wont sell you alcohol. WTF?
