Meijer Opens Three Ohio Supercenters
Meijer has expanded its Ohio footprint by opening three new supercenters in the northeastern part of the state.
The communities of Austintown, Medina, and Richmond Heights are each now home to a 159,000-square-foot store that offers a host of features, including Meijer’s Shop & Scan, which allows shoppers to scan barcodes via the Meijer mobile app and bag items as they shop.
The stores also feature deep discounts on surplus food via the Flashfood app, convenient shopping through Meijer Home Delivery and Pickup services, and mPerks rewards to help customers earn on every dollar spent.
Meijer stores offer a farm-fresh produce section featuring hundreds of USDA-certified organic items, as well as a full-service deli and meat department. The retailer’s supercenters also include pharmacies and general merchandise, including baby and pet departments, apparel, beauty care, floral departments, and garden centers.
"As a family company that's been serving Midwest customers for 90 years, we are humbled to be able to continue bringing our unique shopping experience to more communities," said Hank Meijer, the company’s executive chairman. "Meijer invests in the communities we serve, and we look forward to partnering with local organizations and helping to strengthen each of these communities."
Meijer opened its first store in Ohio in 1981. In recent years, the retailer has invested more than $500 million into Northeast Ohio by opening and remodeling nearly 25 stores, creating jobs, and contributing to the missions of local nonprofits. Meijer employs more than 12,000 team members statewide at 58 stores, as well as distribution and manufacturing facilities in Tipp City.
"Our three new store teams are already working hard to deliver value and convenience to our customers, and we're thankful for their dedication and passion," said Rick Keyes, president and CEO of Meijer. "We are confident Austintown, Medina, and Richmond Heights customers are going to love having Meijer be part of their community."
Before opening the new stores, Meijer made $90,000 in donations to 10 local organizations. In Austintown, Hughes and the store’s team members donated to The Hope Foundation of Mahoning Valley and the St. Vincent DePaul Foundation of Youngstown. In Medina, Meijer donated to The Children's Center of Medina County, Feeding Medina County, Cups Café, Medina County Habitat for Humanity, and the Medina Fire Department's "After the Fire" program. In Richmond Heights, Meijer donated to the Richmond Heights Education Foundation, the Community Partnership on Aging, and Empowering Epilepsy.
