Meijer

This review took me way too long to write. During one of our bad snows this past winter my wife went to Meijer for some last minute super bowl items. Apon leaving she was having trouble pushing the cart through the parking lot due to the slush and snow. A nice guy by the name of Kyle who works the deli was outside either coming in going home or on break, but he stopped and took the cart to my wifes car for her when he saw her having trouble. Thank you Kyle for taking customer service to the max. And this just goes to show you what kind of good people Meijer hires. They have improved everything 110% over the last year or so. I no longer go anywhere else.

Love meijer great place and the always have good deals on produce and deli. I shop every week and it’s nice to get discounts. I downloaded the Mperks app and saved 9 dollars in coupons by just clicking on the with the app. So convenient and I don’t even have to cut out coupons it already saves to you file n takes off the discounts at the register. Really nice n convenient and close to my house.

Pros–
It’s basically around the block. I can always find a very good parking space. Even on a Sunday afternoon, it’s not overwhelmingly crowded. The workers are SO nice. Like– friendliest people around and they always remember me and say hello with big smiles! Great generic items and sales. Self checkouts are always up and running (unlike Wal-​Mart in OH…)
Cons–
When the deli is crowded, it’s crowded! Can’t knock em though– they take their time with each shopper and I love that. Also, their special items, namely fruit bowls and yogurt parfaits, aren’t always available. They’re so fresh and convenient!

This meijer is unkept and truly out of date compared to other stores. Prices are high and they don’t carry as much as other stores. I will not go back.

Meijer: A-​OK in my book.
Admittedly, I’m not bowled over by the offerings (standard) or the prices (relative) and as a veggie girl, I can’t speak to a previous reviewer’s mention of poor butchers, etc. I’ve experienced decent service: nothing amazing but nothing to complain about, either. But there are two pluses that stand out for me and save this store from becoming a place I would never really think about unless someone else mentioned it first, etc.
1. Nice, wide aisles. We don’t usually shop with the whole brood, but when we do? The toddler’s in the Ergo, our visually impaired four year old is supervising from the cart, our six year old is in a wheelchair, and the oldest two are hoofin’ it. We take up some space, even when we’re trying *not* to do so. Meijer is the opposite of, say, Pier 1 or Whole Foods & in this respect, I’m pretty grateful for such.
2. Flowers! Their floral department boasts some pretty unique offerings and they seem to last a freakishly – almost uncomfortably – long time. I love flowers in the house (you can never go wrong with flowers!) & next to Trader Joe’s, Meijer does a pretty solid job of making me wonder why-​on-​earth-​these-​things-​are-​almost-​out-​of-​water-​but-​still-​thriving.
In short? Maybe not worth a special trip, but if you’re in the area… you could do worse. :)

I agree with the first review ofthis store, HOWEVER, the management is really lacking. They never seem to be around. The workers in the evening are young and hardworking. However, they have not been trained properly. They have a really hard time locating anything in their store. They don’t know what many of the grocery items are. I believe this is due to the poor management. I’ve actually seen young kids destroying the store. After telling a young clerk, the clerk said their was no management around to report the incident to! Forget calling the store! Your call will be transferred to a main central call station that is computerized that uses voice recognition but NEVER recognizes what department you are asking for. Frustrating! The store is clean. It’s best feature is its MPerks! You must sign up for this and periodically clip e– coupons for great savings. Their produce is great. Deli is small but very efficient (almost no wait)! The berry and nut salad is as good as it looks. Makes a great housewarming gift. Cut up fruit and veggies are great. Liquor prices Re all great. Don’t forget to checkout their clearance items! All in all, I would have given this store 5 stars if it weren’t for the management and poorly trained staff.

Will not shop here again. The employees are rude, and not real bright.
3 different employees failed to comprehend their own store signage and sales flyer on an item and would not honor the sale price. When I called to complain all the manager wanted to know was if I had purchased anything else. After hearing I spent $ 143.00 on groceries he offered me the item at the advertised sale price like he was doing me a favor. The girl at checkout was extremely rude, rolling her eyes and staring at the ceiling as if I were the stupid one, even as I handed her the sale flyer.
Won’t shop here again.

Once did all my grocery shopping and having my prescriptions filled at this store to a tune of over $ 2000 a month. No more. Received terrible customer service. Sent email to corporate explaining what happened. Corporate could not be bothered with even acknowledging they received the email. Well then I can’t be bothered with shopping at their store.
I would give no stars if that was an option!

I kinda like that this is not one of the gigantor superstores. Helps me keep my focus on why I go to Meijer, which is for groceries.
This is the only store I have found in the Orland/​Tinley area that has a good variety of ethnic foods, real vegetarian meal options and gluten free selections. I have lost my husband in the produce department on more than one occasion, only to find him with jicama, prickly pear cactus or some other fruit that was previously unattainable in the sw burbs. Yea!
The staff is generally helpful and polite. There is more than enough parking. The store is clean, the lot is clean
The negatives? Shelves can be quite disorganized. The freezer cases are oftentimes hard to navigate, key products are quite understocked.

I love the Orland Park Meijer store! Yes, you are right, it’s not like the other «super» Meijers in the area or the one I frequented as a college student in Michigan. But you know what? They took a vacant building and built a business that employs hundreds of people in our community. What is wrong about that? Just get over the fact that it is mostly a grocery store and enjoy it for what it is.
The employees are always friend (unlike other 24 hr mega stores), the produce is always fresh, and the prices are fantastic. They blow Jewel and Dominicks out of the water! In fact, since Meijer opened last summer, I think I’ve been to Jewel maybe 5 times.
I shop here regularly and have been very pleased!

I am not overly impressed with this Meijer. It is nothing like the gigantic 24-​hour Meijers that I have become accustomed to in Bolingbrook, Plainfield, and Aurora. This one looks like an old remodeled Dominick’s. It is mainly for groceries with very little electronics, toys, and housewares.

Went here not too long after it opened. I have to say that I was a bit skeptical going here because a super wal-​mart just opened up not too far from my house either. This place is a lot less hectic than wal-​mart and the produce seems to be fresher. I bought a lot of fruits. The quality here seems to be better than wal-​mart with comparable pricing. The store is also cleaner, but it would be because the store just opened. I will have to check it out soon and see if the store is still as clean after its been opened for awhile. I also liked the fact that they offer free samples too. It’s always a plus to be able to try new things.
