Meijer plans to officially open its doors to two supercenters in Indiana and Ohio on May 6.

Both stores will feature a wide assortment of fresh produce and grocery staples, the retailer says, including bakery, meat, seafood and deli departments, a floral area, garden center, apparel and home goods sections. The supercenters will also include a full-service pharmacy with a drive-through option, a health and beauty care section, a pet department, electronics, toys and sporting goods. More details about the stores will be shared closer to the grand openings.

By adding these locations, the family-operated retailer says it will increase its store count to 59 in Ohio and 44 in Indiana, continuing a long-standing commitment to regional growth and community partnerships.

Aurora, Ohio

Meijer, a privately owned, family-operated retailer, plans to open its new 159,000-square-foot Bainbridge Township supercenter at 7300 Aurora Road in Aurora, Ohio, on the site of the former Geauga Lake amusement park.

“The feedback we’ve received from customers about the value and convenience we offer is consistently positive, and we are excited to bring that experience to our neighbors in Aurora and Bainbridge Township,” says Todd Anderson, vice president of the Ohio region for Meijer. “Being part of this historic redevelopment at Geauga Lake is an incredible honor, and we look forward to serving customers at this location soon.”

Ohio was the first state Meijer expanded into outside of Michigan. The retailer employs more than 14,000 team members statewide at stores and its distribution and manufacturing facilities in Tipp City.

Since its first store opened in Ohio, Meijer says it has been committed to supporting the causes, events and teams that matter most to Ohioans. In northeast Ohio, that includes fighting hunger alongside the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, supporting community treasures like Cleveland Metroparks and partnering with fan favorites like the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Guardians and Ohio State University athletics.

Brownsburg, Ind.

Meijer plans to open a new 159,000-square-foot supercenter at 9202 E. 56th St. in Brownsburg, Ind. A Meijer Express gas station will open on April 8 adjacent to the store.

“We know value and convenience are key for our busy customers who are stretching their dollars, and our supercenters are a one-stop shop that delivers both every day,” says Jess Murray, vice president of the Indiana region for Meijer. “We are excited to join the Brownsburg community and look forward to opening our doors to customers later this spring.”

Meijer has been a part of Indiana communities since 1994. The retailer employs more than 13,000 team members statewide at stores and its distribution and manufacturing facilities in Middlebury.

Since its first store opened in the state, Meijer says it has been committed to supporting the causes, events and teams that matter most to Hoosiers. This includes fighting hunger with Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana, supporting community events produced by the 500 Festival and partnering with fan favorites like the Indianapolis Colts, Indiana University athletics, Notre Dame athletics and Purdue University athletics.
