In a figurative
sense, Scott Schnuck has always been a juggler. As president and
chief operating officer of Schnuck Markets, Scott–along with
the other talented members of his family, including CEO Craig Schnuck–has
done a magnificent job of steering the $2.2 billion company through
the shifting seas of the retail food business.
But Scott’s talents extend far beyond the business world.
In this month’s cover story, Pam Droog Jones paints an intriguing
picture of Scott’s multi-talented personality–and shows
how one of the region’s most successful corporate and community
leaders gets it all done.
In addition to being the proud father of three sons, Scott is also
chairman-elect of the RCGA (he will succeed Doug Yaeger in January
2005), president of the Missouri Botanical Garden, chair-elect of
the St. Louis Sports Commission, and past chairman of Junior Achievement
of Mississippi Valley. A great juggling act if there ever was one!
Also in this issue, we visit the Delmar Loop to see Joe Edwards’
Pin-Up Bowl, his latest entrepreneurial coup. While bowling has
always been a St. Louis tradition, the sport is enjoying an upswing
in popularity, particularly among the younger set.

their families closer together.

diets, our story on the low-carb craze will hit the spot. Find out

Lastly, KSDK-TV’s Karen Foss, one of the most admired and
popular figures on St. Louis television, sat down with Commerce
for a candid and revealing look at her life and career. O’Brien
traces Foss’s roots to her Kansas City days, then hears what
