Meijer To Open Neighborhood Market In Cleveland

Meijer will expand its neighborhood market concept beyond the borders of Michigan for the first time with the January opening of a new Ohio store in the Cleveland neighborhood of Fairfax.

The new 40,000-square-foot Fairfax Market is part of a mixed-use neighborhood revitalization project being developed in partnership with the City of Cleveland, Cleveland Clinic, the Fairfax Renaissance Development Corporation and Fairmount Properties.

Located in the Cleveland Innovation District, the market will contribute to creating a healthier community by addressing food insecurity, supporting economic development, and providing a new grocery shopping destination for customers from Fairfax and other nearby neighborhoods, as well as those who work in the neighborhood, Meijer said.

"Fairfax Market is committed to being more than just a new store. We will be an involved partner, investing in the community and supporting local businesses," said Alan Jordan, store director of Fairfax Market. "We look forward to providing convenient access to fresh, quality food and other necessities at good prices, and we can't wait to welcome our neighbors into the store next month."

Fairfax Market will feature a large assortment of products, including fresh meat and deli items, fresh produce, a bakery, and Meijer and national brand items. It also will carry more than 2,000 local products, including Cleveland Cold Brew Coffee, Micah's Supreme Sauce, PUR Spices, Akron Honey, Lemon Waves and beauty care products from Catlin Naturals. 

Additionally, the market will feature:

• A floral and gift shop, featuring PaperCutz Vintage greeting cards and posters with paper flowers from Love, Anji.
• An impressive assortment of local beers and wines.
• Health and beauty care products from local and black, women-owned businesses from the Fairfax neighborhood and Cleveland.
• A 104-foot international section, featuring products from around the globe alongside vendors from Cleveland.
• A 54-seat cafe space, featuring coffee and sandwiches from Saucy Coffee and sushi from Hissho Sushi.

The store will employ approximately 50 team members and be open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
