Meijer, the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based family-operated retailer, opened a new 90,000-square-foot Meijer Grocery store in Noblesville, Ind.

The company operates 241 supercenters throughout Michigan Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin. The new Noblesville Grocery store is the third Meijer Grocery format store and the 43rd Meijer store in Indiana.

The retailer said its new Meijer Grocer store offers a condensed footprint with a food-focused shopping experience, as well as all the essential categories a customer might need for a quick trip or weekly restock, including produce, dry grocery, fresh meat cut daily, bakery with in-store cake decorators, full-service deli, pharmacy, health and beauty, baby, pets, consumables, cards, party and floral.

The new store features convenient digital shopping solutions, including Shop & Scan, which allows shoppers to scan barcodes via a mobile app and bag their items as they shop to make checkout convenient. The store also offers deep discounts on surplus food via the Flashfood app, an expanded area for Meijer Home Delivery and Pickup services, and mPerks rewards.

“As we celebrate our 90th year as a family-owned retailer, we’re excited to bring our shopping experience to customers in Hamilton County for added convenience near home,” Hank Meijer, executive chairman, said in a release. “Our longevity as a company wouldn’t be possible without team members like the ones here in Noblesville, who have worked so hard to prepare this store for opening.”

During the grand opening, Noblesville Grocery Store Director Travis Bernath and his team presented a $10,000 donation to Noblesville Youth Baseball to install a new water station at the organization’s facilities and provide fresh fruit to athletes on game days. The store team also donated $15,000 to Fueled for School, an organization working to eliminate hunger and provide access to nutritious food for students in Hamilton County.

“Investing in the communities we serve is a top priority, and we begin that process long before the doors of a new store open,” Rick Keyes, president and CEO, said. “We look forward to seeing this store further our purpose of enriching lives in the communities we serve, not just by offering convenient shopping solutions and positive economic impact, but also as a strong and active community partner.”
