Retailer brings one-stop shopping and home delivery option to McCordsville and Franklin

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, 2017-May-04 — /EPR Retail News/ — Meijer opened new 192,000-square-foot supercenters today (May 2, 2017) in McCordsville and Franklin, Ind., bringing residents a new one-stop shopping option that features low prices on groceries, high-quality merchandise and a full-service pharmacy that makes family health care a priority. The new stores will also offer the Shipt home delivery service, which recently launched across Indianapolis and continues to gain popularity with customers looking for another convenient way to shop.

With 38 stores throughout Indiana, the new locations are built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards and are the latest in a $375 million investment this year that includes the construction of seven new Meijer supercenters and remodel projects for 22 additional stores in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky. The Grand Rapids, Mich.-based family-owned retailer is also featuring the option for its new home delivery service for customers of its new stores.

“We opened our first stores in Indiana 23 years ago, so we are very pleased to be able to now offer our McCordsville and Franklin neighbors with the service, quality, selection and low prices that Meijer customers in other Indiana communities have come to expect,” Co-Chairman Hank Meijer said.

The stores also demonstrated their commitment to the community by making donations to local organizations. McCordsville Store Director Tim Snyder presented $25,000 to the Mt. Vernon Community School Corporation to help establish CollegeChoice 529 savings accounts for all Mt. Vernon kindergarten students. The Franklin Store Director Nicole Kidd presented $25,000 to the Johnson County Senior Services and Food Pantry (JCSS), an organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seniors age sixty years and older to live with dignity and maintain their independence.

The grocery options that Meijer offers to shoppers include more than 600 varieties of farm-fresh produce and a full-service meat department that features fresh seafood, Certified Angus Beef and custom cuts of meat. The bakery specializes in custom-decorated cakes and fresh bread baked four times daily.

As part of its ongoing community support, Meijer donates more than 6 percent of its net profit to charitable organizations annually, and each of its stores works with local food pantries and banks to help fight hunger at the local level. Since 2008, the retailer’s Simply Give program has generated more than $28 million for its food pantry partners throughout the Midwest.

In addition to the retailer’s traditional grocery and merchandise, garden center, and 24-hour gas station at each store, the McCordsville and Franklin pharmacies will feature a drive-thru pick up and the company’s free prescription program. The prescription program includes leading oral generic antibiotics with a special focus on prescriptions most often filled for children, prenatal vitamins, and medications for those with diabetes and high cholesterol. Since its inception in 2006, the program has filled more than 39 million free prescriptions, saving Meijer customers more than $536 million.

As part of its grand opening celebration, the new Meijer locations will feature a variety of events beginning Thurs., May 4. The first 200 customers to enter the store after 6 a.m. on May 4 will receive a Meijer mystery gift card with a value of $5, $10 or $20.

“Our teams have exceeded expectations every step of the way as we prepared for these openings,” Meijer President & CEO Rick Keyes said. “Our top priority is to serve customers, and we’re excited to provide our neighbors in McCordsville and Franklin the shopping experience they deserve.”

Meijer expands home delivery throughout Ohio with Shipt

 

Groceries and Goods Delivered to Your Doorstep in an Hour – Day or Night, New partnership from Meijer and Shipt transforms grocery shopping in the Midwest

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., 2017-Apr-14 — /EPR Retail News/ — Meijer announced today (April 12, 2017) it will expand home delivery throughout Ohio with Shipt, the fastest growing online grocery marketplace. The service launches in Cincinnati and Dayton on April 27; Columbus on May 4; and Toledo later this summer. To celebrate the launch of Meijer home delivery in Ohio, Shipt is offering $25 off the first order to annual members who sign up prior to launch.

Using the Shipt app or website, members will be able to access more than 55,000 items available at Meijer stores, note any preferences, choose a one-hour delivery window and pay for their order. Fresh produce, meat, dairy, health and beauty products can all be delivered to your door when it is convenient for you – as soon as one hour after the order is placed, or up to 24 hours in advance. Because most Meijer stores are open 24 hours, Shipt deliveries from those stores will be available around the clock, seven days a week, with the exception of certain holidays.

“Providing people with the option to shop online for thousands of grocery products and have them delivered to their door when it’s most convenient for them is another Meijer innovation that helps our customers save time,” Meijer President & CEO Rick Keyes said. “The personalized service that Shipt offers, coupled with the quality and value our customers love about Meijer, creates a new type of shopping experience in Ohio.”

Meijer piloted the program in Detroit, then expanded the service to Grand Rapids, and will launch in Indianapolis and Fort Wayne this week. Since the launch in southeast Michigan last fall, the program has made nearly 90,000 deliveries in Michigan. Meijer plans to make home delivery available to as many customers as possible across its six-state footprint which includes Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Wisconsin.

“Meijer is a mainstay in Midwest retail and our growing partnership speaks to their commitment to continuously find new and innovative ways to delight their customers,” said Shipt founder and CEO Bill Smith. “With these new expansions, Shipt will now be able to offer the convenience of home delivery from Meijer stores to over 20 million households, creating a simpler, more enjoyable grocery shopping experience across the Midwest.”

Leading up to the launch, Shipt plans to grow their network of Shoppers, who are responsible for ensuring complete, accurate fulfillments of each order. To apply to be a Shipt Shopper, visit Shipt.com and click “Get Paid to Shop.” Shipt plans to hire 10,000 people across the six-state expansion with Meijer. The company plans to hire approximately 1,000 shoppers in Ohio. Shipt displays a commitment to each of the communities it serves and plans to identify opportunities to help eliminate hunger and food insecurity in these communities.

Shipt memberships are available for an annual fee of $99 and members have access to free delivery on all orders over $35. For orders under $35, there is a $7 delivery fee. To sign up for Shipt and learn more about the service and availability, visit Shipt.com/Meijer.

Harris Teeter launches home delivery through UberRUSH

Matthews, N.C., 2016-Apr-04 — /EPR Retail News/ — Harris Teeter’s highly successful online ordering platform just got an upgrade. The Company’s expresslane online shopping tool allows shoppers to order groceries directly from their computer or mobile device and pick-up at the store; however, this service is now expanding to include home delivery through UberRUSH.

This delivery option designed to make the customer’s experience quick and easy, is currently in pilot phase at the Constitution Square Harris Teeter – 1201 First Street NE, Washington, D.C. 20002 – and only available to shoppers within a five-mile radius of the location.

Shoppers can logon to Harris Teeter’s mobile app, order their groceries and upon check-out, select either “delivery” or “pick-up.” If the shopper selects the delivery option, an UberRUSH driver is dispatched, collects the order and delivers it directly to the customer’s front door. Just as Uber riders experience, the customer will receive real-time updates of their grocery delivery process.

“Harris Teeter is excited to enhance the online ordering process by offering home delivery,” said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter. “UberRUSH delivery will help us reach our customers where they are by making the grocery shopping experience even more convenient.”

All products are available through delivery. While in pilot phase, delivery is only available to mobile users; computer ordering is still an option for customers who wish to pick-up at the store.
