Milwaukee — Meijer has moved into its sixth state (its first new state in almost 20 years), opening its two Wisconsin supercenters. Meijer now operates 219 stores in six states throughout the Midwest.
The 192,000-square-foot stores, located in Grafton and Kenosha, are built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. The Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer is a pioneer of the one-stop shopping concept and committed to offering easy, affordable solutions to shoppers.
“It’s been nearly 20 years since we’ve chosen to enter a new state, so we are grateful for the enthusiastic response we’ve received as we’ve built these first stores,” says J.K. Symancyk, president of Meijer. “We are serious about our commitment to Wisconsin and plan to add two to three new stores per year through 2019.”
In August, Meijer will open two additional stores in Wauwatosa and Oak Creek. The retailer has plans for continued growth in Wisconsin.
Meijer is a family-owned and privately-held company with 219 stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin. For more information, visit www.meijer.com.
