As seen on Fox 2 News this morning, Trip Straub has made many efforts over the years to give back to the community. A major focus of these efforts was in support of youth education at Kirk Day School in Ladue. We believe that a solid education is the cornerstone of a successful and productive future. Giving back to the community in a way that supports children in pursuit of knowledge is only logical. See the news feature on Fox 2′s website!

Janet Ansehl Shulman of St. Louis’ The Caramel House mentioned Straub’s category specialist and grocery guru Roger McElroy in her Q&A as UMission’s Person of the Week! Check it out here.

2012 has been a big year of change for Straub’s Markets. With our newly revamped Facebook & Twitter pages, our new Pinterest boards, and the launch of the new straubs.com last October, we have been very busy trying to improve how we communicate with our customers. Our weekly “Free on Facebook” coupons have become wildly popular thanks to our “Food-E-News” e-mail Ad, which saw an increase of 27% more subscribers in recent months.

We know we have grown a lot, but let us know what you think! If you absolutely love our web efforts, nominate Straub’s for the Riverfront Times’ 2013 Web Awards. Click here to view the nomination form.

As always, thank you for being a valued Straub’s customer!
