Meijer will open two new 159,000-square-foot supercenters in Alliance and North Canton, Ohio on May 14, increasing the retailer’s store count to 55 in the state. The supercenters will feature all the products Meijer customers have come to expect, including grocery staples, fresh produce, bakery, meat, and deli, as well as a floral area, garden center, and home goods.
The store will also include a pharmacy, health and beauty care, an expansive pet department, electronics, toys, sports and apparel. A Meijer Express gas station will open on April 18 adjacent to the North Canton location.
“Ohio has always been significant to us, as it was the first state we expanded to outside of Michigan,” said Todd Anderson, vice president of the Ohio region for Meijer. “The feedback we’ve received from customers here in Northeast Ohio about our value and convenience has been overwhelmingly positive, and we look forward to building upon that momentum specifically here in Alliance and North Canton.”
Meijer opened its first store in Ohio in 1981 and has invested heavily in the state ever since. The retailer employs more than 11,000 team members statewide at stores and its distribution and manufacturing facilities in Tipp City and plans to continue investing in the state through new store openings, remodeling current stores, creating jobs and continuing to invest in team members and local nonprofits.
