- The Schnucks supermarket chain this holiday season gave nearly 14,000 employees $15 gift cards to struggling local restaurants.
- All told, Schnucks gifted $200,000 to support others in their local 'food family.'
- The restaurant industry has been devastated by the coronavirus pandemic. It's been estimated that 17% of restaurants across the country have closed since March.
In something of a heartwarming story, the St. Louis-based supermarket chain Schnucks gave its employees $200,000 worth of gift cards this holiday season. What makes the story special, however, is that the gift cards were all for local restaurants that have been hit particularly hard by the coronavirus. Chipotle, after all, is likely faring a lot better than your local mom and pop shop.
According to a press released earlier this month, Schnucks said it gave employees $15 gift cards to restaurants located within 5 miles of their given location. All told, Schnucks provided gift cards to nearly 14,000 people.
