GRAND
RAPIDS, Mich., May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Meijer opened a new
159,000-square-foot supercenter in Hillsdale, Mich. today, bringing its
state-of-the-art, one-stop shopping experience to more Michigan customers.
"As we celebrate our 90th anniversary this year,
providing value and convenience to our customers is still our top
priority as a family-owned company," Executive Chairman
Hank Meijer said. "Not only will we
bring those benefits to shoppers in Hillsdale, but we will also invest in the
community to ensure we are more than just another retailer, but
also a community partner."
Located at 3600 W. Carleton Road in Hillsdale, the new store features convenient
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 store also features 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.
"Our team members have been working hard to prepare this new
store, and we're so thankful for their passion and energy," Meijer
President & CEO Rick Keyes said.
"We're honored to welcome customers into our Hillsdale store today, and we are excited to
serve this community for years to come."
Meijer Hillsdale Store Director Kelli
Quintana and her team welcomed customers into the store with
a round of applause, which was later followed by a ribbon-cutting
event attended by Executive Chairman Hank
Meijer. Quintana and the store's team members
demonstrated their support of the community during the past week by
making $25,000 in donations to local
organizations, including $10,000 to
Davis Middle School to help purchase
new science lab equipment, and $10,000 to Key Opportunities, an experienced and
skilled vocational rehabilitation organization that helps
individuals develop work-related skills. Additionally, the
store donated $5,000 to the Hillsdale
Rotary to help build a public fitness park and playground in
Hillsdale.
Meijer donates at least 6 percent of its net profit to
charitable organizations annually, and each of its stores works
with local food banks and pantries to help fight hunger. Since
2008, the retailer's Simply Give program has generated
more than $86 million for its food
pantry partners throughout the Midwest. The Hillsdale store selected St. Anthony Family
Center as its first Simply Give pantry partner.
Continuing the retailer's ongoing efforts to ensure
accessibility for all customers, the stores feature new larger,
height-adjustable changing tables in the family restrooms for the
added convenience and dignity of customers with disabilities and
their caregivers. As in all Meijer stores, the Hillsdale store also offers free access to
Aira, an app-based service that provides live navigation assistance
to blind and low-vision customers using the camera of their
smartphones.
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 store also offers a pharmacy
and general merchandise items. Additionally, it features expansive
baby and pet departments, apparel, beauty care, a floral
department, and garden center.
Meijer opened its first store in Michigan in 1934 and celebrates its
90th anniversary as a family-owned, Midwest retailer
this summer.
