Meijer Announces Wisconsin Store Openings

First Meijer Supercenters in Grafton and Kenosha expected to open in June, hiring to begin in March

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – More than 2 years after Meijer first publicly confirmed it was considering opening stores in the state of Wisconsin, the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer is in the home stretch of   construction of its four new supercenters in the greater Milwaukee area.

“Foundations are set, floors are poured and the walls are up at our four new Wisconsin stores,” Meijer Senior Director of Communications Frank Guglielmi said. “All of us at Meijer are looking forward to bringing the Meijer experience to new customers in Wisconsin this summer.”

The retailer has confirmed that its stores in Grafton and Kenosha will open this June, and its stores in Oak Creek and Wauwatosa will follow in August. Each store will open with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by local officials and store team members. Those specific dates will be announced about six weeks prior to the ribbon-cutting event. The Kenosha and Oak Creek Meijer stores will also feature a convenience store and gas station, which will open about 30 days prior to the main store, in May and July respectively.

“By the time we open these great new Wisconsin stores, we will have used 500 miles of wire, 4,000 tons of steel and 16,000 cubic yards of cement to build the four new supercenters,” Guglielmi said. “This will result in state-of-the-art stores that are the best our company has to offer.”
