The privately owned, family-operated discounter Meijer continues to expand its grocery store concept, as well as its signature supercentre format.
The business will open a 75,000sq ft Meijer Grocery store on 30 September in Fishers, Indiana. It will be the retailer’s second grocery format location in Indiana and the retailer’s 45th store in the state.
Meijer launched its grocery format, which offers guests a “streamlined shopping experience”, in 2023. The concept brings together the essentials that customers need for a weekly shopping trip in a smaller layout than the retailer’s supercentre format. The mix includes a wide assortment of fresh produce and grocery staples, along with full-service bakery, meat, seafood and deli departments, a floral and greeting card section, pharmacy, health and beauty care and pet supplies.
“These stores are designed to provide customers with a great shopping experience, right in the communities where they live and work each day,” said Jess Murray, VP of the Indiana region for Meijer. In addition, Meijer will open a supercentre on 30 September in Plymouth Township, Michigan. The 159,000sq ft store will increase the retailer’s store count in its home state to 130.
The location will feature a wide assortment of fresh produce and grocery staples, including bakery, meat, seafood and deli departments, a floral area, garden centre, apparel and home goods sections. It will also include a full-service pharmacy with a drive-through option, health and beauty care section, an expansive pet department, electronics, toys and sporting goods.
