Minneapolis market next up for Meijer

Market expansion into the Minneapolis market may be the next step for Meijer, The Grand Rapids Press reported last week, confirming that the grocer acquired 30 acres of land in a Twin City suburb. "I can confirm Meijer has purchased property in Brooklyn Park, Minn.," Frank Guglielmi, Meijer senior director communications, told The Grand Rapids Press. "However, it's very early in the process and we currently have no set timeline for entering the Minneapolis market." Meijer earlier this month announced a $400 million capital spending plan that would see nine new supercenters and 32 remodels. (The Grand Rapids Press)
