PG Jan. 2017 Store of the Month: Coborn's Marketplace

For Coborn’s Inc., a new store in a growing community was the perfect opportunity to create a bold new image and up its game in all of its offerings to shoppers.

The result is a supermarket that delivers pretty much everything a supermarket needs to have these days to be competitive, engender consumer loyalty and deliver a topnotch shopper experience.

Serving a community largely made up of 30-something professionals and young families, the 51,000-square-foot Coborn’s Marketplace in Isanti, Minn., is the culmination of a year of planning that included studying the latest shopping and eating habits, as well as researching other retailers in different parts of the country.

“We are a company that is constantly striving to appeal to the changing needs of our guests,” says Chris Coborn, chairman, president and CEO of the St. Cloud., Minn.-based retailer. “We are excited to bring this new next-generation Coborn’s store to the community of Isanti and to the surrounding area. I think that our guests will be just as excited about this store as we are. It definitely has a ‘wow’ factor about it.”
