They have now added Clinton Township to the list of Meijer store webcams. The Clinton Township store is at about the place in its construction as the Birch Run store except at Birch Run the gas station is further ahead.

Anyone else who has a 2020 Meijer prediction feel free to post.

This article talks about a new Meijer store. This one in Putnam Township outside of Pinckney, Michigan. Here is an update on the proposed Fairfield Township Meijer store. This article talks about yet another new Meijer store. This one in Marion, Indiana.

Here is my 2020 Meijer prediction: 1. by 2010 there will be an announcement about a Distribution center in Northern Illinois. 2. there will be Meijer stores in the thumb and more in northern Michigan 3. when the d.c. in Illinois is built they will start building stores first in Wisconsin then Iowa then Minnesota then the U.P. 4. stores will be built in the rest of Illinois 5. stores will be built in Indiana south of Indianapolis 6. they will enter most of Kentucky 7. they will start heading to Cleveland 8. they will enter West Virginia 9. they will be entering the outskirts of St. Louis (currently they have a store less than 100 miles away from downtown) 10. they will open a satellite office in the Chicago to manage the 30 plus stores they will have in the Chicago area 11. there will be talk of a d.c. in southern Illinois to handle the Meijer expansion into St. Louis and the new stores that were built in Indiana and Kentucky. 12. Meijer will open 5-10 urban Meijer stores one in Grand Rapids, one in Detroit, and the rest in the Chicago area.

This story talks about how Meijer wants to have 400 stores by 2020. Do any of you think that they will be able to do it? They would have to more than double in size in about 13 years. Meijer currently has 181 stores now and 7 new stores opening in 2008.

I think that the Gaylord store is going to be the same way.

I don't know, with all the problems that they have been having in Acme I don't know if they can make it through the approval process again. It says in the article that they bought the land 5-6 years ago. It makes me wonder where else they have undeveloped land. Do any of you know?

Link is not working. What was the article about?

Here is another new Meijer store: Meijer plans Solon Township store in 2008 or '09 Posted by Susie Fair {sodEmoji.|} The Grand Rapids Press October 04, 2007 07:30AM Categories: Breaking NewsSOLON TOWNSHIP -- Northern Kent County residents could have a new place to shop in a little more than a year, with the latest new Meijer proposed for just west of Cedar Springs.The Walker-based retailer is expected to unveil plans for a 157,000-square-foot store before the township Planning Commission Oct. 16, according to company spokeswoman Stacie Behler.The store would be seven miles north of the next closest Meijer, in Rockford.Behler said Meijer purchased five or six years ago a 27-acre parcel on the south side of 17 Mile Road, just west of U.S. 131, in anticipation of growth that would warrant a new store."With all the necessary township approvals, we could be breaking ground in early 2008 and possibly open in 2009," she said.Solon Township Supervisor Bob Ellick said Meijer has deposited $5,000 into an escrow account to cover legal and engineering expenses during the preliminary phases of the project."The fact that they more than doubled the minimum escrow we typically require shows us they're serious about building here," Ellick said. The prospect of a Meijer on the outskirts of Cedar Springs has spurred interest from residents who currently drive to Rockford, Greenville or Grand Rapids to shop a Meijer. Definitely sounds like Meijer is trying to saturate the Grand Rapids market in my opinion.

I stopped at the gas station at the Meijer on Tittabawassee in Saginaw today and heard that they will close on Sunday be torn down and get a new gas station built from the ground up. They said that they will down by December which seems quick to me, but it is only a gas station not a big Meijer store.

This article talks about a potential new store in South Lyon.

Yes, I have thought of it as a hybrid of the two different formats.

I think that when they started working on the Rockwell prototype the Meijer family knew that they had to something to change their stores to a more modern format or they would not make it, and they thought that they had to go with some one who was outside of the company to do it. This new prototype, I wouldn't be suprised to hear, probably comes from inside of the company seeing that they have not made a grand announcement of the prototype like they did with the Rockwell prototype. Or, I could be totally wrong. The Meijer store I shop at up here in Hampton Township outside Bay City almost is like a hybrid Rockwell format. The store was built in year 2000. This is the front of it: It is the Village format that they had before the Rockwell format, but when you go inside it is very similar to the Rockwell format. Here is a quick rendition from memory of the store:

This site has webcams of two upcoming Meijer stores that are being built in Davison, MI and Urbana, IL.
