Meijer

Meijer is continuing its annual Very Merry Meijer tradition of surprising customers in its supercenters and stores across the Midwest with a $1,000 shopping spree.

Meijer’s Black Friday sale, taking place Nov. 22 to 28, is now a weeklong event that allows consumers to adjust their shopping strategies due to the ongoing pandemic, the company said.

The retailer will implement such safety measures as installing hand sanitizing stations in high-traffic areas, extending Black Friday deals and adding timeslots to its pickup service.

Meijer was named a gold level recipient of the 2020 Employer Partners of Inclusion awards.

Meijer’s Pickup service will be available to shoppers at no charge to ease holiday shopping stress, the company said.

Meijer’s Capital City Market, which carries an assortment of fresh, local and convenient food at low prices, has opened its third location in Lansing, Mich.

Meijer is collaborating with Electrify America to install electric vehicle charging stations at nine of its stores across Illinois and Michigan.

The digital event is aimed at giving diverse-owned businesses an opportunity to get their products in front of Meijer merchants and potentially onto the chain’s shelves.
