Meijer Opens New Indiana Supercenter

Mejier has expanded its presence in Northern Indiana with the opening of a 159,000-square-foot supercenter in Elkhart just south of the state’s border with Michigan.

Featuring more than 600 varieties of farm-fresh produce, 150 USDA-certified organic items, and a deli and meat department, the new Meijer store also offers a pharmacy and general merchandise items. Other notable features include expansive baby and pet departments, apparel, beauty care and a floral department offering more than 45 varieties of fresh cut flower bunches, giving customers the flexibility to build their own bouquets and arrangements.

Continuing the retailer's ongoing efforts to ensure accessibility for all customers, the store also features new larger, height-adjustable changing tables in the family restrooms for the added convenience and dignity of customers with disabilities and their caregivers. As in all Meijer stores, the Elkhart store also offers free access to Aira, an app-based service that provides live navigation assistance to blind and low-vision customers using the camera of their smartphones.

"This new store reinforces our ongoing commitment to serving the needs of local families, who are looking for more value and convenience," said Hank Meijer, the company’s executive chairman. "We are honored by the warm welcome and will be a strong community partner while providing the best shopping experience to customers in the Elkhart area."

Additionally, the Elkhart store features digital shopping solutions, including Shop & Scan, which allows shoppers to scan barcodes via a mobile app and bag their items as they shop to make checkout convenient. The store also offers deep discounts on surplus food via the Flashfood app, expanded areas to manage orders for Meijer Home Delivery and Pickup services, as well as mPerks rewards to help customers earn on every dollar spent.

Located just to the south of Interstate 90, the Elkhart store is Meijer’s 42nd location in Indiana. The retailer, which also has a manufacturing facility in Middlebury, has more than 10,000 employees across the state.
