Meijer Expands in Indianapolis with New Supercenters
Meijer has now opened two new 190,000-square-foot supercenters outside of Indianapolis. These new supercenters feature more than 600 high quality varieties of fresh produce, a meat department offering custom cuts, and a bakery providing fresh bread baked four times daily, according to a press release.
“Indianapolis is a very important growth area for us,” said Co-Chairman Doug Meijer. “We’re excited to bring the Meijer difference to our new neighbors in Plainfield, Whitestown, and their surrounding communities.”
The Plainfield and Whitestown stores will create more than 540 new jobs and provide local residents with a great option for one-stop shopping, fresh produce, and a full-service pharmacy.
“As a pioneer of one-stop shopping, we’ve always strived to offer variety to our customers and look forward to bringing our fresh offerings to the Indianapolis area,” said Whitestown Store Director Shaun Kriskovich. “Whether you’re looking for fruits and vegetables delivered daily, getting your yard ready for summer or seeking answers about a nagging health concern, we look forward to providing value to anyone who steps through our door.”
Meijer also has other expansion plans in mind. Previously on ANUK, we reported that the retailer plans to open 10 to 12 stores a year, with a large portion of those locations to be in Wisconsin. Check out our previous story, linked below.
