The discounter has opened two supercentres in Northeast Ohio and the 159,000sq ft stores are located in Warren and Wooster.
Meijer’s new store in Warren, which is part of the Eastwood Mall complex, incorporates an underground stormwater detention system. The system retains and filters water in the parking lot to ensure clean stormwater discharge and reduce the impact on existing retention ponds and city infrastructure.
The Wooster store features a specially designed hitching shed to ensure customers with horses and buggies have a safe and dry place for their animals while they are shopping. (The Wooster area is home to a large Amish community.)
The new Ohio locations features digital shopping solutions, including Shop & Scan, which allows shoppers to scan barcodes via a mobile app and bag their items as they shop for a convenient checkout. The store also offers deep discounts on surplus food via the Flashfood app and expanded areas to manage orders for Meijer’s home delivery and pickup services.
Known for grocery options that include more than 600 varieties of farm-fresh produce, 150 USDA-certified organic items, and a deli and meat department, the new Meijer stores also offer pharmacies and general merchandise items. The stores include baby and pet departments, apparel, beauty care and a floral department.
