Meijer Readies New Indiana Supercenter

Meijer is preparing to open its newest location next month: a supercenter in Elkhart, Ind., east of South Bend.

The new location will open on May 11, and feature grocery staples, fresh produce, bakery, meat, and deli, as well as a floral area. The new 159,000-square-foot supercenter will become the 42nd Meijer location in the Hoosier State.

Other departments will include a garden center, pharmacy, pets, electronics, toys, sports, and apparel. Additionally, a Meijer Express gas station will open on April 13, adjacent to the new supercenter.

"We know that value and convenience are key for our customers, and the new store will provide both for Elkhart residents," said Maureen Mitchell, VP of the Indiana-Kentucky Region for Meijer. "Meijer is committed to investing in Northern Indiana, and we look forward to providing a more convenient option close to home for grocery and other everyday needs here in Elkhart."

Meijer opened its first store in Indiana in 1994, and now employs more than 10,000 team members statewide. Based in Grand Rapids, Mich., Meijer operates 501 supercenters, Meijer Grocery, neighborhood markets and Express locations throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
