In addition to Ibotta providing customers access to exclusive product offers in Schnucks’ stores throughout the Midwest, a key component of the partnership will be strategic R&D with the goal of building the next-generation grocery shopping experience for consumers.

Together, we’ll collaborate to develop a more personalized, premium shopping experience for Schnucks customers.”
The R&D component of the partnership will allow Ibotta and Schnucks to co-develop new customer experiences for a more dynamic grocery shopping journey. Potential areas of innovation include advanced digital offers in retail media, and a heightened focus on creating new and innovative touchpoints in-store.
“Schnucks is thrilled to partner with Ibotta, a leader in digital rewards, to expand savings for our customers through our Schnucks Rewards program,” said Tom Henry, Schnucks Chief Data Officer. “Through this partnership, Schnucks customers will have access to a wider range of digital coupons in our Schnucks Rewards program, creating more value for customers with every in-store or online shop.
