The company is slated to open its first neighbourhood market outside of its home state of Michigan early next year.
The retailer will open Fairfax Market in the Fairfax neighbourhood of Cleveland. Scheduled to open on 16 January at 2190 E. 105th St., the 40,000sq ft store is part of a mixed-use neighbourhood revitalisation project being developed in partnership with the City of Cleveland, Cleveland Clinic, the Fairfax Renaissance Development Corporation and Fairmount Properties. The store is located within the Cleveland Innovation District, just south of Cleveland Clinic Main Campus.
Fairfax Market is Meijer’s first small-format neighbourhood market outside of Michigan. Meijer’s first neighbourhood market opened in Detroit in 2021, with locations following in Grand Rapids, Lansing and Royal Oak.
The Cleveland store will feature fresh meat and deli items, fresh produce, a bakery, a floral and gift shop, as well as more than 2,000 local products including beer and wine and health and beauty products. Amenities include a 104ft international section, featuring products from around the globe alongside vendors from Cleveland and a 54-seat cafe space, featuring coffee and sandwiches from Saucy Coffee and sushi from Hissho Sushi.
