Indiana, Kentucky home to new Meijer supercenters

June 2, 2016

Meijer has opened two new supercenters, spanning 192,000 square feet each, in Evansville, Indiana and Owensboro, Kentucky.

They are the first of nine new locations and reflect the supermarket chain's investment of more than $400 million in new and revamped stores, according to an announcement.

"Investing in Evansville and Owensboro was an easy decision for us," CEO Hank Meijer said. "We're excited to serve new friends and neighbors. We're looking forward to working with both communities and growing alongside the families of the tristate area."

The new stores will create 3,000 new jobs across the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer’s six-state foot print.

The new stores are built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards and will be open 24 hours a day. The Evansville and Owensboro Meijer pharmacies will offer drive-thru pick up.

"Our teams have exceeded expectations every step of the way as we prepared for these openings," Meijer President Rick Keyes said. "Our No. 1 priority is to serve customers, so we're ready to provide our neighbors in Owensboro and Evansville the shopping experience they deserve."
