Discuss the new Meijer concept that puts main emphasis on produce.
One just opened back in July in the Troy Commons Shopping Center in Troy, Michigan, adjacent to a new Tuesday Morning.
My wife likes to go here. She's big into the natural & gluten free stuff. I've been in a couple of times; the stores are nice and I think the prices are comparable to Kroger for the same stuff.
They just opened 2 locations near me.
- Bridgeville, PA (Great Southern Shopping Center, in a former Bottom Dollar location)
- Pleasant Hills, PA (Southland Shopping Center)
Did not go anywhere near the grand opening as they were giving away a free
bag of groceries to the first 250 customers. Wanted no part of that mob scene!
Some independently owned, long-time local upscale/organic grocers
(John McGinnis, McGinnis Sisters, The Uncommon Market, etc.) have closed-up
shop in the wake of all this new competition from out-of-town chains.
