Area Stores Seeking out Cub Foods Employees for Jobs

One positive aspect of the closing of Cub Foods on Madison’s southwest side on Verona Road is that the employees are getting attention from other grocery stores in Madison to work for them.

Cub Foods is scheduled to close in mid-March, leaving many residents without a place to buy their groceries and many employees without a job.

But a large area grocery chain is reportedly stepping up and offering employment to the Cub workers.

“Yeah, I heard that Roundy’s (who owns Copps and Pick n’ Save) is saying to (Cub) management ‘send your people over,’” according to one Cub employee.

That’s good to hear. We have been shopping at Cub Foods for years, and the employees are good people but several questioned on Friday had no clue what they are going to do for a new job.
