Meijer

I actually really like shopping at meijer. They have a huge food selection and anything else you might think of like auto, toys, electronics, dishware, clothing, school supplies, outdoor, etc. I scored an extremely great deal on a television around Christmas time so of course I’m pleased with that experience. I do agree that the deli left something to be desired. This place is like target on steroids, just with way more food and less clothes.

This store is clean, neat, and orderly. Employees are very nice and helpful. Prices are a little higher than Walmart, but the quality of some items are better. Meats can be a little steep on the pocket. Produce is really nice and fresh and reasonably priced. I really love being able to s left from a variety of almost each item.

I actually wanna give this meijer a 5 stars based on what it is, an all– in– one major corporate store. Obviously you can not expect to walk into the store and find yourself in what looks like Whole Foods, Walgreens, Nordstrom, Staples, and Best Buy in one. For what it’s worth Meijer is a great place to do a quick stop when you need to pick up produce, stock up on shelf food, get a quick plain tee or pants, and get some cold medicine at once. I come here pretty often and the store is clean, well stocked, the produce is almost always just ripe, and the staff is pretty friendly for the most part. The only thing I would say is a minus is the self checkout, it can get pretty tedious, but which one doesn’t? Overall a good place, like everyone else, I agree that it’s way better than Wal-​Mart.

I went to Meijer store#265 this evening to buy lottery tickets, long underwear and sone gloves. Normally I like this store but tonight I think I’m missing something. The lottery part was smooth. I looked for long underwear and instead of them being near front of store in men’s dept, they were stashed in back across from grocery items. Fine as I walked back to front of store to purchase them I stopped by men’s section to look for a pair of winter gloves and was told larger selection of gloves tucked away in back near automotive. What horse’s rear end organizated this silliness. Skip it. Going to Northface store.

Only one reason I write this review– Meijer has frozen fish at reasonable prices. Good variety– swordfish, cod and salmon along with the usual perch & tilapia. I haven’t found similar quality at of the other major grocery stores.
The one tip I’d give thou is to avoid the prepared foods like the plague.

It’s like a Walmart but less crowded.
There is more room in here, and the parking lot isn’t a 3 ring circus.
My beef with Walmart is too many people and if you step on someone’s shoes or bump someone with the cart, you’re in violation.
At Walmart I feel like the only white man in a square mile radius.
As a white man, the ‘diversity’ is better in Meijer. People from multiple ethnic backgrounds shop here.
You have to watch the prices.
The staff are never around for occasional help finding things.
You’re on your own in this store.

America sure does love the allure of one’s ability to buy panties and produce simultaneously! I’m far too fancy for such aforementioned panties, but I digress…
This is essentially an upscale Walmart Supercenter… only civilized, well-​organized, and with better parking.
Nice variety of organic produce, affordable wines, and the largest selection of breadstuffs I’ve ever seen. Small cheese case with a few yummy options, but the deli itself leaves much to be desired. I like when meats are roasted in-​house or aren’t packed with fillers and so the options here, even for their house-​made salads, are very limited. «County Fair» (down the road) has a small, but fantastic deli! This store also doesn’t carry any Lithuanian, Polish or German favorites. It would be really nice to see these stores usher in some true diversity.
The one thing I l DO love about Meijer is also the singular thing about them that drives me insane.; the brand options on certain products is extremely narrow. Take buttery crackers, for instance. They carry the big 3: Keebler, Townhouse, Ritz… all of which are pricey… BUT they have every. single. d*mn. variety. cracker those companies make. So Ii you want some «Ritz» Bacon and Black Pepper Crackers, by God they will have them!!! There are at LEAST a dozen flavors of Pop Tarts alone! Still, I cannot get a can of «Raviolio’s» here for when I’m drunk, bacon buns for when I’m depressed or a decent pot roast for when I’m…well…who needs a reason to love pot roast? It’s friggin’ delicious.
They run some great prices on gas, offer dry ice for shipping or transporting perishable favorites, possess a seriously delightful selection of pickles & greeting cards, annnnnd there’s an enclosed barber shop. How… interesting. *raises eyebrow* (Meijer started out by opening a Barber Shop.)
Many cashiers have recently been making a noticeable effort to be helpful and friendly, but this store often has zero help walking the floors so you’re on your own for the bulk of your trip. They do have serious signage which makes for easy locating of items. There’s always sales on pop, ice cream, and yogurt; maybe it’s in their pact with Satan.

Please do yourself a favor and visit their gas station it’s worth the trip since half these stations are filthy and attract hood elements whereas this place it’s clean and the food mart is clean and presentable. Never compromise quantity for quality which is what I got getting gas here after stopping at another location just a few minutes away earlier in the day and the pumps were not working. At least they get on the ball when something isnt working. Don’t waste your time patronizing gas stations where the people there don’t speak good English. I have to wonder why half these oil companies are allowing these people to operate gas stations and they can’t even comprehend half the things Americans are saying, but at least the staff speaks clear and understandable English. I wish I knew the name of the cashier who rang me up who was very professional asking me did I find everything ok and if what I had completed my order. She was professional, clean and didn’t look like a hoodrat. It’s worth a trip if you’re traveling on 87^th because the three gas stations between Western and California are not worth the patronization. Go where you know the gas is fresh and the staff is professional.

Think of it as a clean, organized, civil version of Walmart. The prices are marginally higher on certain items, but we don’t mind paying a little more for the sake of the improved shopping experience.
My only complaint concerning this store is that they came into the community ready to fight. This store posts security guards at their only two entrances and they have since they first opened. Therefore, no negative experience precipitated such measures being taken. After having visited multiple Meijer stores in Indiana and Ohio, I have never seen such a thing.
There is a large Afro-​American customer base at this location and this is the only logical explanation I can conjecture for grocery store security. I take it as a slap in the face, but what can I do?
The south side of Chicago has a reputation for violence and despite the fact that this location is not in Chicago but does border one of the safest neighborhoods in Chicago, seems to mean nothing.
Just another joy of having brown skin in America!

I avoided entering the store for a long time because it’s so large and intimidating, but when I went, I was glad I did. It’s nice to grab a laundry basked, a bottle of wine, and rhubarb (yay! rhubarb!) all in one store. The produce looked good to me (maybe they were having an off day when Margaret B. was there), though I admit my sampling is small having only purchased rhubarb. (Yay! Rhubarb!)
I went later in the evening, and several employees greeted me and asked if I needed help while I wandered rather aimlessly through the behemoth store. Even checkout was a nice experience (I think my cashier’s name was Dominique). I found the store to be very clean and friendly, and will certainly return!

This review focuses on the grocery part of the store. I shop at most stores in the neighborhood and discovered Meijer’s prices to be high, especially in meats (County Fair has lower priced meats!) Their produce was also high. Frozen vegetables and prepared foods were about the same as other stores. The last three times there, only one human cashier was available and it seemed Meijer’s strategy was to get shoppers to check themselves out. This is acceptable for a few items, but fails when someone has an abundance of items. I have noticed the store has less shoppers than just a few months ago. Meijer luminaries need to reevaluate store logic and strategy or its doors will be closing soon. The only time I will shop at Meijer is because of an emergency. There are too many other grocery stores in the area that offer better price and service than Meijer.

I thought the service was VERY slow and indifferent, with prices that were higher than I like. I won’t be shopping here again.

new and clean with cheap groceries and great sales! friendly staff and great fried chicken!

I was super excited to see this Meijer. It is a huge store and will replace my trips to Wal-​Mart. I checked the prices on all the items I usually buy from Wal-​Mart and Target and they were comparable. They had a lot of items on sale which I liked. They also have a lot of organic brands, which I like even more. The produce looked great and smelled better. I bought a few items such as bell pepper, basil and grapefruits. They were all fresh and very enjoyable. Everyone I spoke with was nice and offered help. It was a great experience and I have been back several times (I see this may soon become an addiction). Anyway, it’s a one stop shopping for me and I’m glad to have them in the neighborhood!

I’m excited about this Meijer! The selection of food is better than what you’ll find at Walmart. They have more organic produce and specialty foods. You can get things like gluten free bakery items! More healthier food options overall. One thing I appreciated was the abundance of signage throughout the store. Things seem really easy to find.
As of now, it is less chaotic than Walmart. (This might change after the new-​ness wears off.) No long check-​out lines or obnoxious kids. yet.
Yes, the prices are higher than Walmart.
I plan to stalk the sale paper each week to save money!

Meijer is the better of the Walmarts, Targets, Super Ks, etc. The store on Western is clean, well organized and has helpful friendly staff. I hope it rusn the Walmart next to it out of business.

It’s huge. It’s clean. Otherwise, it’s a huge disappointment.
Friends in the northwest suburbs rave about Meijer. Having only been to this store, I don’t see why. The produce looks like stuff they throw out at Jewel. Seriously — worse than the local Jewel is pretty bad. And from what I saw, the prices are higher. Lower quality, higher prices… don’t think I’ll be back.
Sorry, Meijer. I expected better.
