Dive Insight:
Since acquiring SpartanNash, C&S has made clear that it sees operating retail stores as central to its operations.
SpartanNash’s announcement that it has finished renovating one of the two Martin’s stores it runs in Goshen came just three days after the company said it completed a remodeling project at a Family Fare store in St. Ignace, Michigan, that it described as the first large-scale modernization the store has undergone in 25 years.
The Family Fare renovation expanded the store’s dairy, bakery, meat and produce departments in addition to introducing wider aisles, new signage and a full-service floral department. The store now also offers a classic donut program and fresh pastries, plus more space for cold beer.
On Thursday, SpartanNash announced the completion of renovations to a Family Fare location in Harrison, Michigan. That project brought changes such as the addition of a nostalgic candy and soda section.
Earlier last week, SpartanNash announced it had completed a “full-store transformation” at a Family Fare location in Paw Paw, Michigan, that brought improvements such as an upgraded hot bar and an expanded alcoholic beverage selection.
In November 2025, the company reopened a Family Fare location in Byron Center, Michigan, following a refresh. The month before, SpartanNash debuted a remodeled location under its VG’s Grocery banner in Fenton, Michigan.
“These remodels showcase the C&S family of companies’ continued focus on improving the everyday shopping experience — making our stores easier to shop and refreshing the look and feel of our communities’ most established hometown grocers,” C&S CEO Eric Winn said in a statement to Grocery Dive.
SpartanNash has also opened new stores since becoming part of C&S. The company debuted the first small-format location under its Supermercado Nuestra Familia chain of Hispanic grocery stores in Omaha, Nebraska, in January. On March 20, SpartanNash held a grand opening for a Needler’s Fresh Market store in Anderson, Indiana.
