Meijer unveiled today a 159,000-square-foot supercenter in Elkhart, Indiana that will open on May 11, bringing the number of Meijer stores in Northern Indiana to 11. The supercenter will feature grocery staples, fresh produce, as well as bakery, meat, deli, and floral areas.
Other departments will include a garden center, pharmacy, pet supplies, electronics, toys, sports, and apparel. A Meijer Express gas station will be located adjacent to the store.
"We know that value and convenience are key for our customers, and the new store will provide both for Elkhart residents," said Maureen Mitchell, VP of the Indiana-Kentucky Region for Meijer, in a statement. "Meijer is committed to investing in Northern Indiana, and we look forward to providing a more convenient option close to home for grocery and other everyday needs here in Elkhart."
The company is currently seeking hourly full- and part-time employees.
Meijer opened its first store in Indiana in 1994 on Grape Road in Mishawaka, Indiana, and has invested heavily in the state ever since. The Elkhart location will join 41 other Meijer stores in the state. The retailer employs more than 10,000 team members statewide.
