【時報訊】由聖路易郵迅報主辦，每年頒發之市民獎今年頒予聖路易Schnuck超級市場。由於Schnuck超級市場是由6個兄弟姐妹共同持有相同股份，共同經營，所以這次共頒發六個市民獎予這六位業主，一時傳為佳話。
自1980年代後期，Schnuck超級市場的大家長Don Schnuck將該企業交予子女們共同管理經營，六位兄弟姐妹同心同德，以一個家庭團體管理方式將Schnuck超市的生意做的蒸蒸日上。此次獲選得獎，日前擔任總裁職位的Scott Schnuck就堅持一定要六個人一起得獎，這也是聖路易郵迅報頒發此獎以來，第一次有六人一起得獎。
Schnuck family: Citizen(s) of the Year
Every member of the Schnuck family knows that their monthly meetings - dubbed the"6S" - are sacred.
The six Schnuck siblings - five brothers and one sister who are equal shareholders inthe grocery chain business - schedule their vacations around the meetings, where theyplot business strategy.
"It's the meeting you don't miss," said Todd Schnuck, president and chief operating officer of Schnuck Markets.
It's been that way since the late 1980s, when their father, the legendary grocery magnate the late Don Schnuck, called the first meeting to order. The following generation has carried on the tradition with a nearly perfect attendance record ever since.They are held at roundtables by design so there is no head of the table. And consensus rules.
The Schnucks are so accustomed to working as a family that when civic leaders recently approached Scott Schnuck, the company's chairman and CEO, about recognizing him as Citizen of the Year, he insisted that his siblings - and even a cousin who also is a shareholder - share the spotlight, too.
"For the sake of family harmony," Scott Schnuck said, "it's important to me that the whole family share in it."
So for the first time, this award, which is sponsored by the Post-Dispatch, is going to an entire family. The winner is chosen every year by a committee of previous recipients
