Straub’s

History

Established in 1901.

In October of 1901, William A. Straub opened the first Straub’s store in the Webster Groves community of St. Louis, Missouri. Those were the days of horse and buggy delivery, and Mr. Straub standing at the front door to personally welcome each customer. Specializing in meat and dry goods, it didn’t take long for the store to gain a reputation as the place to go for unusual and better products.

Moving to larger quarters in 1926, Straub’s continued to feature USDA Prime beef and expand its offerings. Customers learned to request items they had seen or heard about while traveling. This store moved one final time in 1960, to its current location.

The next community to have a Straub’s was Clayton, opening in 1933. Here, the corporate offices were established and remain today. This store would have two more moves, before settling into its current location in 1948. Also in 1948, the Central West End location opened. The Town & Country store opened in its current location in 1966.
