Cub is opening a new and improved grocery store this week in Burnsville.

Cub and Cub Wine & Spirits will celebrate the grand opening of its newly redeveloped Burnsville facility at 1750 County Road 42 W., according to a news release.

The new store will feature a broader produce section, more grab-and-go meals, a new pharmacy, a revamped health and beauty department and a drive-thru online order pickup lane, according to the release.

The original storefront on County Road 42 was demolished last year to make room for a new store and additional retail.

Now you’ll find a Best Buy next door to the grocer at 1600 County Road 42 W., as it relocated from 14141 Aldrich Ave. earlier this year. The former Best Buy site is now home to a Bob’s Discount Furniture Showroom.

A ribbon-cutting event for the new grocery store with product sampling, giveaways and remarks from Burnsville Mayor Elizabeth Kautz starts at 4 p.m. Wednesday.

The grand opening celebration, which starts at 8 a.m. Thursday, will feature performances from the Burnsville Dance Team, the University of Minnesota dance team and marching band and an appearance from Goldy the Gopher. The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile will also be on site starting at 9 a.m. Thursday.

Cub has another location in Burnsville at 300 E. Travelers Trail that opened in 2005 and was remodeled in 2021.
