Meijer recently announced a more than $400 million investment in new and remodeled stores this year across our six-state footprint. As Meijer continues to grow, we want to keep our promise of providing customers with the best one-stop shopping solution by investing in the Midwest communities that have supported us for so long.
This year’s investment includes construction of nine new Meijer supercenters and 32 different remodel projects. Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin will each welcome new supercenters later this year. In addition, dozens of stores have begun or will soon begin remodel projects to further enhance the customer shopping experience.
Meijer is remodeling stores in communities such as Detroit, Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. Southeastern Michigan alone will see 12 Meijer supercenters remodeled this year, while Indianapolis will have three remodel projects. Two Meijer supercenters in Fort Wayne will be included as well. The Meijer store in Burton, Mich., one of the company’s oldest operating stores, will also be included in the project.
While the depth of the remodel varies, these projects include a variety of specific store enhancements, including improved store layouts, expanded grocery, and health and beauty sections, as well as lighting, heating, refrigeration and parking lot improvements. Additionally, the introduction of newer technology in key areas during the remodel process will result in more energy-efficient stores.
“We will continue our process of slow, steady growth,” Hank Meijer said. “This plan has allowed us to remain focused on our customers and team members, while growing our business and ensuring we continue to innovate in the marketplace.”
