Cub Foods in Uptown reopens with new layout

Cub Foods in Uptown reopened Thursday after a two-month closure for repairs and improvements, introducing a new layout and expanded product offerings. The renovations include a larger entrance and improved shelving for better product visibility. United Natural Foods Inc. (UNFI) stated these upgrades reflect a commitment to enhancing the customer shopping experience. However, the reopening coincides with the planned closure of Cub's St.

Paul location at the end of August, affecting 96 employees and reducing shopping options in that area. Local residents expressed their satisfaction with the revamped store, noting its convenience and modern appearance. Shoppers like Carl Johnson and Ben Polzin shared their experiences during the closure, stressing the challenges faced in accessing groceries. The store's location in a busy neighborhood makes it vital for local residents who rely on biking or public transportation. As community members hope for its continued operation, they recognize the impact of Cub's presence on local shopping dynamics.
