Straub's Closes Central West End Store | St. Louis News

Straub’s, the beloved St. Louis grocery staple with roots dating back to 1948, is closing its Central West End location after nearly 80 years — a bittersweet farewell for longtime customers and employees. The move stems from the building’s sale, though details remain sparse; the new owners are expected to honor the neighborhood’s spirit. CEO Trip Straub reflects on the deep community ties and emotional weight of the closure. In a final gesture, the store is slashing prices: 20% off most items and 10% off alcohol and tobacco while supplies last. Hours are shortening to 10 AM–8 PM daily. Though this chapter ends, Straub’s hopes to continue serving the area through its Clayton and Town and Country locations — keeping the legacy alive elsewhere.
