With less than two weeks remaining in the current shelter-in-place order from the state of Michigan, Meijer is expanding hours once again, to increase flexibility for shoppers in search of what they need, including dedicated times for seniors, frontline workers and others.
Meijer has announced they are adjusting store hours to allow more time for customers to get their shopping essentials and extending the times its stores dedicate to senior citizens, customers with chronic health conditions, essential service workers and its own team members.
New store hours are as follows:
- Meijer stores will close overnight at midnight local time, beginning Friday, May 15th, and will open each morning at 6 am local time.
- Meijer Express convenience store locations will close overnight at 11 pm and open each morning at 6 am; pay-at-the-pump fuel sales will remain available 24 hours a day.
- Meijer stores will extend dedicated shopping times for senior citizens and customers with chronic health conditions on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-8 am local time. Pharmacies will continue opening at 7 am on those days.
- Meijer stores will extend dedicated shopping times for essential service workers and Meijer team members on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-8 am local time. Pharmacies will continue opening at 7 am on those days.
Essential service workers include all medical workers, first responders and law enforcement. Senior citizens are considered age 60 and older. Meijer is asking its customers and the public to please respect the times for these important groups.
Rick Keyes, Meijer President and Chief Executive Officer, says, “These extended hours will best serve all our customers and provide more flexibility to shop Meijer stores,” and adds, “As communities begin to re-open, it’s more important than ever that we find new ways to adjust and reshape how our customers shop for products they need while keeping their families safe.”
Grand Rapids-based Meijer operates more than 248 supercenters and grocery stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin. A privately-owned and family-operated company since 1934, Meijer pioneered the “one-stop shopping” concept and has evolved through the years to include expanded fresh produce and meat departments, as well as pharmacies, comprehensive apparel departments, pet departments, garden centers, toys and electronics.
