As it continues deepening store penetration in its Midwest home territories, Meijer opened two new 159,000-square-foot supercenters in the northeastern Ohio towns of Warren and Wooster.
The new stores feature convenient digital shopping solutions, including Shop & Scan, which allows shoppers to enter barcodes via a mobile app and bag their items as they shop, making checkout convenient, Meijer stated. The stores also feature deep discounts on surplus food via the Flashfood app, designated areas to manage orders for Meijer Home Delivery and Pickup services, as well as mPerks loyalty rewards for consumers who sign up.
The Warren store incorporates an underground stormwater detention system that retains and filters water in the parking lot to ensure clean stormwater discharge and reduce the burden on existing retention ponds and city infrastructure. The Wooster store, with a large Amish population in the vicinity, features a specially designed hitching shed where customers with horses and buggies have a safe and dry place for their animals while they are shopping.
“Meijer is a family company committed to bringing value and convenience to local families while also serving as a strong community partner,” executive chairman Hank Meijer said in announcing the store openings. “We are honored by the warm welcome in Ohio and look forward to truly becoming part of the Warren and Wooster communities in the years to come.”
The Ohio openings come on the heels of Meijer’s debut of a 159,000-square-foot supercenter in Elkhart, IN.
