Meijer Opens Two Ohio Superstores
Meijer has opened two new 159,000-square-foot supercenters in Northeast Ohio, bringing its state-of-the-art, one-stop shopping experience to customers in Alliance and North Canton.
Located at 2500 West State St. in Alliance and 1505 N. Main St. in North Canton, the new stores feature 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 stores also feature deep discounts on surplus food via the Flashfood app, expanded areas for Meijer Home Delivery and Pickup services, and mPerks rewards to help customers earn on every dollar spent.
"As we celebrate our 90th anniversary as a family-owned retailer, providing value and convenience to our customers is still our top priority," said Hank Meijer, executive chairman of Meijer. "We're excited to bring our unique shopping experience to customers in North Canton and Alliance while also investing in these communities."
Known for grocery options like more than 600 varieties of farm-fresh produce, 150 USDA-certified organic items, and a deli and meat department, the new Meijer stores also offer pharmacies and general merchandise items. Additionally, they feature expansive baby and pet departments, apparel, beauty care, floral departments, and garden centers.
Meijer opened its first store in Ohio in 1981. By the end of 2025, the retailer will have invested approximately $500 billion into the area by opening and remodeling nearly 20 stores, creating some 4,000 jobs, and contributing to the missions of local nonprofits. Meijer employs more than 11,000 team members statewide at 55 stores and its distribution and manufacturing facilities in Tipp City.
"We're thankful for the energy and enthusiasm from our team members, who have worked so hard to prepare these new stores for opening," said Rick Keyes, Meijer’s president & CEO said. "We're honored to welcome customers through our doors in North Canton and Alliance, and we are excited to serve these wonderful communities."
Meijer Alliance Store Director Patrick Hughes and North Canton Store Director Sheila Dowgiert and their teams welcomed customers into the stores with a round of applause, later followed by ribbon-cutting events attended by Keyes.
Before opening the new stores, Meijer made $50,000 in donations to local organizations. In Alliance, Hughes and the store's team members donated $12,500 to both Clothed in Righteousness to support unhoused neighbors with food, clothing, and supplies, and Legacy of Honor to provide mental health and housing assistance to veterans and first responders.
In North Canton, Dowgiert and her team donated $15,000 to Local Hope, the Jackie Davison Foundation, to help local women struggling with cancer and other life-threatening medical challenges. In addition, the team donated $10,000 to Houston's Lift Off to provide care baskets for families with children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
