Cub Jobs

Cub is a prominent American supermarket chain operating primarily in Minnesota and Illinois. Established in 1968 in Stillwater, Minnesota, Cub has grown to become a significant player in the retail grocery sector. As of April 2025, the chain boasts 105 locations, with 104 stores in Minnesota and one in Illinois.

Cub offers a comprehensive range of products and services to meet the diverse needs of its customers. Their offerings include fresh produce, meats, seafood, dairy products, bakery items, and a variety of organic and specialty foods.

Additionally, Cub provides several services such as pharmacy, fuel stations, and a selection of alcoholic beverages, including wine and spirits. Many locations also feature floral departments, offering a variety of flowers and arrangements.

Recent Initiatives

In recent years, Cub has undertaken several initiatives to enhance its market position and customer experience. In December 2024, the company implemented price reductions across its stores as part of a strategy to improve competitiveness following a period of declining sales.

Furthermore, in May 2025, Cub unveiled a new "flagship" store in Burnsville, Minnesota, featuring modern design elements such as polished concrete floors, tall ceilings, and natural lighting.

While the store's aesthetics have been updated, it retains the traditional Cub format, reflecting the company's commitment to revitalizing its brand.

Parent Company Efforts

Cub's parent company, United Natural Foods Inc. (UNFI), has been actively involved in efforts to "resuscitate" the brand. In June 2023, UNFI's CEO emphasized the need for a more focused value proposition and improvements in fresh category offerings to enhance Cub Foods' market performance.
