Meijer to Replace First Supercenter Unit
The Midwest supercenter pioneer’s inaugural site will now be reborn as its first new store in the Grand Rapids city limits in a decade.
July 7, 2008
Pending approval from the town fathers, Meijer Inc. will replace
its oldest original supercenter with a new store that will become
the retailer’s first new unit in Grand Rapids’ city limits in 11
years.
The chaion said it intends to keep the original open while it
builds a new store adjacent to it, slated to open in 2010.
The site was christened as a 17,000-square-foot grocery store in
1958. It became Meijer’s first supercenter in 1962, with an
addition of 75,000 square feet to house non-grocery items.
The new project must first clear approval by the city, but local
leaders are supportive of the plan.
