Grand Rapids, Mich. — On Sept. 1, 2022, Meijer introduced a new brick-and-mortar store concept — Meijer Grocery — that will provide convenience for customers who are looking for a simplified shopping experience, while providing communities easier access to fresher foods. The first two Meijer Grocery stores will open in early 2023.
The new stores will open in neighborhoods within southeast Michigan’s Orion and Macomb townships. The new concept is the retailer’s latest since first introducing the neighborhood market small format concept in August 2018 with the opening of Bridge Street Market on Grand Rapids’ west side.
“Our customers know they can count on us for the freshest foods and best value, which has always been at the core of what we do at Meijer,” says Rick Keyes, president and CEO of Meijer. “Meijer Grocery will now provide that same combination of freshness and value in a foods focused format in your local community.”
Meijer Grocery stores will range from 75,000 square feet to 90,000 square feet, and will include a condensed, and quick-to-navigate footprint. Convenient by design, the stores will feature parking wrapped around a singular corner entrance to maximize the number of parking spaces near the door.
“We’re excited to provide our customers with yet another way to shop,” says Don Sanderson, group vice president of foods at Meijer. “This new concept store will not only provide our customers with everything they need on their weekly shopping trip, but also a quick and easy solution for when they realize they left the key ingredient off their list while cooking dinner.”
