GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Northern Indiana has proven to be a market of focus for Meijer, as the company continues to strengthen its retail footprint in the region. Most recently, the grocer announced a new supercenter to increase its service to shoppers in Elkhart.

"This new store reinforces our ongoing commitment to serving the needs of local families, who are looking for more value and convenience," Executive Chairman Hank Meijer said. "We are honored by the warm welcome and will be a strong community partner while providing the best shopping experience to customers in the Elkhart area."

Bringing a one-stop shopping experience to Elkhart-area customers, the state-of-the-art new supercenter stands at 159,000 square feet. Some key features of the store include a collection of 600 varieties of farm-fresh produce, 150 USDA-certified organic items, and a floral department offering more than 45 varieties of fresh-cut flower bunches.

The new store also features convenient digital shopping solutions, including Shop & Scan, which allows shoppers to scan barcodes via a mobile app and bag their items as they shop to make checkout convenient, a press release explained.

"Meijer truly invests in the communities we serve, and we're excited to be joining the Elkhart community," President and Chief Executive Officer Rick Keyes said. "Our team members have worked diligently to prepare this new store, and we're all looking forward to providing a one-stop shopping experience focused on value and convenience to these customers."

The Elkhart store is the retailer's 42^nd store in Indiana, a market the grocer has invested heavily in since opening its first store in 1994.
