At its 15th annual conference on Tuesday in Grand Rapids, MI, Meijer management discussed plans to open six smaller format stores in urban environments by 2021, representing a new initiative by the retailer to attend to changing shopper lifestyles. The first, to open this summer, will be a 40,000 square-foot store to be called Bridge Street Market, located on Grand Rapids’ West Side. The company will break ground on a second this summer in downtown Detroit, to open in 2019, and begin construction on a third yet unannounced location this year as well.
