Press Release from Cub Foods:

STILLWATER, Minn. – January 12, 2009 – Cub Foods today announced plans to close the Nakoma Cub store located at 4716 Verona Road. The store will be closed by mid March of 2009.

In light of a difficult economic environment, Cub Foods has evaluated its stores and identified opportunities to strengthen its overall business. While the decision to close a store is always difficult—given the impact on associates and customers—it is guided by what is best for the company’s ongoing success and future growth.

Cub would like to thank customers of the Nakoma store and remind them that the other Madison Cub stores located at 4141 Nakoosa Trail and 7455 Mineral Point Road are ready to serve them with the same great prices, selection and service they’ve come to expect.

Cub Foods provides consumers with the freshest produce, widest selection and greatest value available today. In addition to innovative natural, ethnic and certified organic food sections, Cub stores offer shoppers added conveniences, such as in-store pharmacy and banking. Cub Foods was established in 1968 as one of the nation’s first discount grocery stores. The organization was purchased in 1980 by SUPERVALU and currently operates 84 stores located in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and Iowa.
