More than 600 Shop n Save employees at the 19 stores have already accepted Schnucks job offers, with more expected to do so in the coming days.

Along with meeting applicants in Collinsville, Schnucks will meet applicants on Thursday at Orlandos Event Center at 2050 Dorsett Village Plaza in Maryland Heights, Mo.
