Meijer

Meijer revealed its involvement in a wind energy center that contributes to the company’s renewable energy portfolio and marks significant progress in meeting its carbon reduction target.

Meijer is reflecting on how far it has come in serving customers some 60 years since the opening of a store in Grand Rapids, Mich., dubbed Thrifty Acres.

Through this partnership, the retailer aims to provide customers with cut, whole leaf and whole head lettuce varieties, as well as cut lettuce for all of its ready-to-eat salads across its six-state footprint.

The campaign aims to raise $6 million for a new facility that will nearly double the nonprofit’s food distribution efforts.

The event gives local businesses across the retailer’s six-state footprint a chance to virtually showcase their offerings to Meijer buyers and procurement teams.

Shoppers in Michigan who use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program can now use the payment method for Meijer’s home delivery and pickup shopping services.

The retailer is opening new supercenters in Indiana and Michigan on May 12.

Winners include team members from the retailer's stores, distribution centers and corporate office.

Meijer merchants are targeting 38 different certifications on vendor products or their manufacturing and procurement processes.

The retailer donated $1 million to 17 local affiliates of the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce across the Midwest.

The retailer will source clean, renewable energy in steps toward reaching the goal of reducing 50% of absolute carbon emissions by 2025.

The donation will support development programs aimed at socio-economically disadvantaged youth, the retailer said.
