Three refreshed stores in Pennfield, Marshall and Albion bring modern upgrades to the shopping experience, brightening aisles and baskets for store guests

CALHOUN COUNTY, Mich. — April 17, 2026 — As shoppers refresh their routines and carts this spring, Family Fare^® has completed its own series of refreshes — celebrating three store remodels across Calhoun County. These remodels at the Pennfield, Marshall and Albion locations align in-store upgrades with Family Fare’s broader Spring Refresh campaign, bringing modern upgrades to the in-store and online shopping experience.

At all three Family Fare stores, shoppers will notice expanded fresh departments designed to support everyday meal planning and grab-and-go needs. Updates include elevated fresh-cut produce programs, refreshed bakery and deli spaces, upgraded hot bars and expanded ready-to-drink beverage selections — giving shoppers new inspiration as they restock for the spring season ahead.

Each location reflects the unique role Family Fare plays within its local communities. In Pennfield, the refreshed store introduces a modernized layout and self-service hot bar alongside expanded fresh offerings. In Marshall, upgrades include a new full-service meat and seafood counter, expanded deli and bakery departments and improved accessibility through updated self-checkout lanes. Albion’s remodel reinforces its role as a critical community anchor with an expanded assortment of local, Michigan-made products, refreshed service areas and improved store flow.

“Spring is all about fresh starts, and these remodels allow us to refresh the Family Fare experience at same time our shoppers are brightening their baskets with fresh produce,” said Tony Agostino, the stores’ district manager. “These updates make it seamless to shop fresh, local and convenient — whether you’re planning weeknight meals or stocking up for spring gatherings.”

To celebrate the remodels, each store hosted a kid-friendly ribbon cutting, inviting young shoppers to help officially commemorate the refresh, along with a local check presentation supporting community partners in each town.

Shoppers teamed up with the SpartanNash Foundation to donate $780,000 — equivalent to 285,000 meals¹ — to more than 100 local food pantries this holiday season

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 16, 2025  — Food solutions company SpartanNash^®, a member of the C&S Wholesale Grocers family of companies, and the SpartanNash Foundation^® recently donated a record-breaking $690,000 to more than 100 food pantries across the Company’s retail footprint. The money was raised during the SpartanNash Foundation’s fifth in-store fundraiser of 2025, with store guests and Associates joining together to fight food insecurity and provide meals to those who need them this holiday season.

“As a food solutions company, we are deeply committed to fighting hunger in our communities,” said Dawn Bredeweg, Manager, Charitable Giving and Hospitality at SpartanNash. “Many in our community are eager to support their neighbors this holiday season, and our stores have stepped up to meet that need. By contributing funds, food banks can buy essential items in bulk — often directly from our stores — at lower costs. This means every dollar stretches further, feeding more families and reducing food waste. At SpartanNash, every meal matters and every neighbor counts.”

The SpartanNash Foundation fundraiser ran from Oct. 24 to Nov. 26 in participating SpartanNash-operated retail stores, including Family Fare^®, Martin’s Super Markets, D&W^® Fresh Market and adjoining fuel centers. Store guests had the opportunity to contribute various dollar amounts while checking out, both in-store and online. Donations will directly benefit food pantries in Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

“We are incredibly grateful to the SpartanNash Foundation and their two Metcalfe’s Market locations in Madison, Wisc. for their support of our work in Dane County,” said Rhonda Adams, Executive Director of The River Food Pantry. “The in-store fundraiser hosted raised $45,500 for The River, which will help us continue to serve more than 3,500 food insecure individuals each week.” 

In addition to the in-store fundraiser, the SpartanNash Foundation pledged an additional $90,000 to food pantries located near SpartanNash distribution centers, bringing total donations to $780,000 to fight hunger and provide hope for. This donation equates to an estimated 285,000 meals¹ for families across the Midwest this holiday season.

Since 2016, the SpartanNash Foundation’s annual in-store fundraiser has raised more than $3.6 million to support local food pantry partners, providing the equivalent of more than 1.3 million meals¹ for people in the communities SpartanNash serves.

During the one-day event, store guests can turn 100 pennies into $1 in cash PLUS $1 on their Rewards card

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Dec. 9, 2025 – Food solutions company SpartanNash^®, a member of the C&S Wholesale Grocers family of companies, today announced all Family Fare^® locations in Michigan will be holding a one-day penny event on Saturday, December 13.

The Small Coins, BIG IMPACT penny event encourages store guests to convert spare pennies into double rewards — turning 100 pennies into $1 in cash plus $1 on their Family Fare Rewards card.

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 13, shoppers are invited to bring pennies into any of the 57 Family Fare locations in Michigan, exchanging pennies for double their value while helping those who prefer to pay in cash when shopping.

There is a minimum of 50 cents in pennies exchanged per transaction (resulting in 50 cents in cash and 50 cents on the shopper’s Rewards card) and a maximum of $100 in pennies exchanged per transaction (resulting in $100 in cash and $100 on the shopper’s Rewards card).

“Clean out your couch cushions, check your junk drawers and break open your piggy banks,” said Jay Mahabir, Vice President, Retail Operations. “Our Small Coins, BIG IMPACT is a great way for us to reward our shoppers for sharing their two cents — or more! — with us, all while bringing in pennies to support our store operations and those who prefer to pay in cash.”  

With the U.S. Department of the Treasury discontinuing penny production, the Federal Reserve has implemented restrictions on penny distribution. This proactive step allows Family Fare and other SpartanNash-operated retail stores to maintain accuracy and fairness as the company waits for official U.S. government guidance on rounding practices.
