Meijer says it will open three new supercenters in northeast Ohio on May 8, increasing the retailer’s store count to 58 in the state.
The new 159,000-square-foot supercenters are located in Austintown, Medina and Richmond Heights, according to a news release.
Meijer said the stores will feature a wide assortment of fresh produce and grocery staples, 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, health and beauty care section, a pet department, electronics, toys and sporting goods. More details about the stores will be shared closer to their grand opening, the release said, adding that a Meijer Express gas station will open on April 10 adjacent to the Austintown location.
“We’re investing heavily to serve the northeast Ohio community and consistently receiving positive feedback about our value and convenience,” said Todd Anderson, Meijer vice president of the Ohio region. “Ohio was the first state we expanded to outside of Michigan, and we look forward to continuing that growth this year and into the future.”
There are still select part- and full-time job openings for the new Meijer supercenters, the release said. The retailer says it employs more than 13,000 team members statewide at stores and its distribution and manufacturing facilities in Tipp City, Ohio.
