Meijer Introduces New Grocery Store Concept to Provide Fresh, Convenient Shopping Options Closer to Home

Meijer has unveiled plans for two new grocery stores, coined Meijer Grocery, with the intention to make grocery shopping simplified and streamlined, while providing communities easier access to fresher foods. The first two stores will open in early 2023 in southeast Michigan’s Orion Township and Macomb Township, following the neighborhood market small format concept. 

“Our customers know they can count on us for the freshest foods and best value, which has always been at the core of what we do at Meijer,” Meijer President & CEO Rick Keyes said. “Meijer Grocery will now provide that same combination of freshness and value in a foods focused format in your local community.”

The stores will range from 75,000-90,000 square feet and will include the following in a condensed and easy to navigate footprint:

•     Fresh Produce
•     Fresh Meat counter
•     Bakery equipped with in-store decorators
•     Full-service deli
•     Dry Grocery
•     Pharmacy
•     Health & beauty care
•     Baby, pets and consumables
•     Card & party floral

“We’re excited to provide our customers with yet another way to shop,” said Don Sanderson, Group Vice President of Foods at Meijer. “This new concept store will not only provide our customers with everything they need on their weekly shopping trip but also a quick and easy solution for when they realize they left the key ingredient off their list while cooking dinner.”

Meijer Grocery will offer all the same benefits and convenience of a Meijer Supercenter, including mPerks, Shop and Scan and Meijer Home Delivery and Pickup. In addition to their smaller footprint, Meijer Grocery has a convenient design, with parking wrapped around a single corner entrance in order to maximize the number of parking spots near the door.
