Meijer sets opening dates for 2 supercenters

Meijer is opening not one but two new supercenters.

The first of the two locations, opening on May 12, is located in Fort Wayne, Ind.

While weekly sales at this location will begin when its doors open, this location is set to feature special promotions and events following opening day, the company said.

“Local residents and new customers have been incredibly welcoming every time we open a store in Fort Wayne,” said Maureen Mitchell, regional vice president at Meijer. “Over the last two years, our store teams have helped families meet unprecedented challenges by providing fresh grocery options and supporting their pharmacy needs, so we look forward to opening the doors for our new neighbors.”

The second supercenter location in West Branch, Mich., also opening on May 12, will also feature special promotions and events as part of its grand opening activities, the company said.

“Local residents and new customers have been incredibly welcoming every time we open a store in our home state where the supercenter was born,” said Jason Beauch, Meijer regional vice president.
