Meijer

I go to Meijer for two reasons. One they sell the organic coffee I like, and two they sell the shaving cream I use. I know Meijer’s aren’t spread throughout the country like Wal-​Mart is, but I like to think of Meijer as a «classier» Wal-​Mart. But with the nicer aesthetic, comes slightly higher prices. Everything in the store is always clean and organized. The tiles are a bright white rather than a dead brown/​grey making the environment brighter, and making the shopping experience more enjoyable. Also they have very helpful employees, and if you’re too shy/​your item count is low like me, there are self checkouts near both exits.
If you need groceries, hygiene products, toys, fish, basic furniture, car accessories, and more Meijer is the place you want to be.

The only reason they are not getting the 4 stars they deserve is because of the lack of knowledge and customer service in their pharmacy! On 3 separate occasions we have tried to fill 3 different prescriptions and none were filled successfully nor filled at ALL! They continuously have excuses why they can’t fill our scripts, after waiting hours we were finally told the script was out of stock. Then it was an insurance issue (per their pharmacist) insurance companies aren’t ‘open’ on Sunday’s. Apparently they do not have Internet access such as Walgreens or CVS. Please, if you need a prescription filled ASAP, go down the street to the Walgreens on 31 & 120 or even the Jewel-​Osco on 120. I bet Walmart near Johnsburg is quicker too!

Terrible customer service and policies. I returned some items today with gift receipts from Christmas. Things have been hectic for mW and I was unable to get to a meijer before today. (I don’t live close by to one) Their 90 day return policy is inflexible and because they items were purchased 2 DAYS before the 90 day mark a credit that should’ve been $ 46 plus tax became $ 21. I WILL NEVER BUY GIFTS OR SHOP AT THIS STORE AGAIN. There are NO managers on duty to even discuss with! How can a store like this run without any type of manager on duty!!! I’m not buying that! BTW… it has NOT been 90 days since Christmas… If you expect people to want to use your store for holiday shopping you may want to permit times purchased after black Friday through December have an extended period for return. Many other places would’ve made exception because it was Christmas gifts. One item she only offered me $ 3 for! Forget that! I’d rather donate it to the needy than help them make a buck off another innocent shopper. I will not go back!

Absolutely love this Meijer. Granted nothing beats a local mom and pop grocery store, but if I’m going bulk grocery shopping and looking for other general items, the McHenry Meijer is my first stop. I’m from Johnsburg, but will pass the Walmart up the street and go hear instead.
Prices are fair, staff is very friendly and the store is very clean.

So it seems as though they are no longer carrying my beloved Koegels… that makes me extremely sad guess I will have to check out other meijers or drive to Michigan.

Love Meijer.
This one’s always busy. My only complaint (with all Meijers, really) is that there is a really poor organic produce section.
I don’t usually need help, but when I DO need assistance, it’s sometimes difficult to find an employee. Still, once you can find some, life is good.
I last went with my mom: we were on a mission to purchase a bike for her. (We first went to the other big-​box store down the street, but their selection was awful and the employees pretty much ignored us.) We did locate one she liked, and got some help from two teenaged boys. See, we didn’t want the display model since it was all scratched up, so they located another in the back for us and brought it to us. They also pumped up the tires (not well, though) and helped answer some questions about bike seats. In all I don’t really think they knew much about the bikes themselves, but they really tried. They were also able to hold in their giggles while watching me ride down the aisle of the store to test it out. I have no shame! :)
In all our bike experience excelled the one we had at the other store. She got a decent bike that didn’t break the bank.

We love Meijer in this household.
The produce selection is vast, prices are competitive and generally always looks really fresh. Also, if you have questions I have never had a problem asking any of the employees — they have always been helpful.
The prices are competitive — many are better then other stores, you just have to know your prices.
The mPerks program is fantastic — I love being able to save an extra 5% just beacuse, there is nothing special other than signing up you have to do to get the extra money.
The employees are friendly and the prices are fantastic. I recommend Meijer over most all other local grocery stores.

Meijer is Meijer but what annoys me is there are no more express lanes… All I want is an express lane. Why? Because if I’m breezing thru to buy booze I don’t want to wait in line and I sure as hell don’t want to scan it at the self check lane then wait for someone to come in punch a code, check my id and go. Whew…
You’d get five stars… if you had an express lane… just sayin…

Nothing reminds me I’m back in the midwest more than a trip to Meijer. I usually stop here when I’m visiting my family so I can stock up on gluten free food for my stay. They have a pretty good selection!
Expect lines, mullets, scooter-​carts, and slow people. It’s all part of that midwest charm!

This Meijer is OK– good selection and Walmart-​esqe. However, despite the previous posters review, Meijers prices are NOT better then Walmart. That’s just a fact– compare for yourself. Also, while the produce section may be adequate, DONT even consider buying the raw chicken breasts. Every single time I had in the past, the smell was somethingI can’t even type hear, and I will NEVER do it again… not quite sure what that’s all about. Just bought a video game there last night as well, got home– and it was not in there! Lol. So what have we learned? Meijer is fine, if you aren’t buying video games or raw chicken.

This place is GREAT! The produce selection here is better than anyplace else that I have ever shopped. Also, the staff are friendly, the prices are better than Wal-​Mart, and the lines are shorter. I can’t figure out why Meijer isn’t a nationwide chain. If all the stores are even half as good as this one, it’s like shopping at Wal-​mart but cheaper, with better products and selection, and without the guilt that come from giving Wal-​mart money and, by proxy, making the world a worse place.

Meijer’s is ok… really. It’s nicer than a Wal-​Mart supercenter and the prices are reasonable enough. Large selection and hey, they have ice wine! Bonus! The one down side is that they charge you almost $ 3 for a pineapple!!! Back home… I pay 49 cents.
