Dave Peacock, the former Anheuser-Busch president who helped lead failed local efforts to build a football stadium and later a soccer stadium, was named president and chief operating officer of Schnuck Markets Inc., the Maryland Heights-based grocer, on Thursday.

Peacock’s responsibilities with Schnucks will include management of operations, marketing and the company’s supply chain. Peacock had previously overseen domestic operations for Anheuser-Busch from 2008 to 2012, after joining the brewing company in 1992.

He had served on Schnucks’ Advisory Board since July 2013, but the company said he will leave that role because of his new position.

The announcement follows two years for Peacock in which he was better known for his role in trying to improve St. Louis’ image as a sports town.
