After purchasing the business in 1975 Dave and Ellen changed the
name of the business to Schmitz's Super Valu. In 1979 they
doubled the size of the building to 14,256 square feet and completely
remodeled the store. The name of the business was changed
to Schmitz's Super Valu discount Foods in 1987 and the business
stayed at this location until 1991.
Dave and Ellen closed the Super Valu store on 1-1-1991, but moved
to the south end of Spooner into a 33.500 square foot store.
They changed suppliers to the Nash Finch Co. and changed the name
of the business to Schmitz's Economart. The business has
done well and remains at this location to this day. However,
in 1997 a 17,500 square foot addition was put on the building
and the store was completely remodeled. It is now a large
store at 50,000 square feet and is one of the most modern
supermarkets in northern Wisconsin. The store has a great,
friendly and experienced staff dedicated to serving all the needs
of today's consumer. Use the web site, fax, telephone or
just come in and ask us to help you with any of your supermarket
needs and we will do our best to fulfill them. |
