The new year is bringing a major remake to the Stevensville Meijer Store at the Exit 23 retail hub.
There has been no announcement of the project, however store hours rolled back to midnight closing vs. 24 hours, to allow workers better access to all areas of the store. MoodyOnTheMarket.com reached out to Meijer Stevensville for more information.
Store spokesperson Bob Tharp told us the project began this week and will run through “June or July”, signaling significant changes to the layout and interior appearance of the store.
Tharp termed the project “a major refresh” and said several departments will be expanded and some moved to new locations to better serve today’s customers. The Stevensville location has been open for almost 15 years.
Meijer customers commenting on social media are especially looking forward to an update and expansion of the Pharmacy Department. Tharp told us the Stevensville remodel includes the addition of a second pharmacy drive-thru pickup lane.
Meijer employs more than 300 workers at the Stevensville store, according to Tharp.
Grand Rapids based Meijer now has almost 270 stores in several size variations, focusing on six Midwest states: Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin. About half the stores are in Michigan. The chain is still family owned, 90 years after its founding in Greenville in 1934. In 1962, the first ‘Thrifty Acres’ supercenter opened on 28th Street in Grand Rapids.
The Meijer family can be found on any published list of Michigan billionaires.
