Meijer Opening Three New Supercenters
Meijer in May will open three new supercenters, two in Ohio expanding the retailer’s presence in the Buckeye State to 55 stores, and one in Michigan.
The locations in Alliance and North Canton, Ohio, and Hillsdale, Mich., each will both open May 14. The 159,000-square foot supercenters will carry a broad range of products including grocery staples, fresh produce, bakery, meat, and deli, as well as a floral area, garden center, and home goods.
The stores will also include a pharmacy, health and beauty care, an expansive pet department, electronics, toys, sports and apparel. A Meijer Express gas station will open on April 18 adjacent to the North Canton and Hillsdale locations.
"Ohio has always been significant to us, as it was the first state we expanded to outside of Michigan," said Todd Anderson, vice president of the Ohio Region for Meijer. "The feedback we've received from customers here in Northeast Ohio about our value and convenience has been overwhelmingly positive, and we look forward to building upon that momentum specifically here in Alliance and North Canton."
Shawn Buckner, vice president of the Mid-Michigan Region for Meijer, added. "As we celebrate the 90th anniversary of Meijer this year, we're thrilled to be opening a new store in our home state to mark the occasion. We know value and convenience are top of mind for our customers, and we look forward to providing a one-stop shopping experience that offers both here in Hillsdale."
Meijer opened its first store in Ohio in 1981 and has invested heavily in the state ever since. The retailer employs more than 11,000 team members statewide at stores and its distribution and manufacturing facilities in Tipp City.
The retailer was founded in Michigan, opening its first store in Greenville in 1934 and employs approximately 40,000 team members statewide at stores, distribution and manufacturing facilities, and the company's headquarters in Grand Rapids.
