"This allows our customers to get a discounted deal on items that we have either overproduced or maybe they are short dated and we don't want to throw them away," said Matthew Craig, Meijer. "You are getting a very fresh but you are getting it at a discount. And it helps us from having to throw items into landfills and reduces food waste in our stores."

Meijer received notice of a possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination from Mann Packing, a Meijer supplier based in Salinas, Calif. that sources the Meijer branded produce items. Mann Packing informed Meijer that evidence of potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination had been identified by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. No illnesses have been reported to date.
Hi Nancy,
I know Meijer should sell at least tempeh and tofu for sure. Seitan, unfortunately, is often harder to find but they definitely could have it as well.
In the Meijer I go to, there is a special refrigerated section with these items and other mock meats.
I definitely recommend asking a store employee where to find them! Good luck ?
Thirty percent of teachers planned to purchase electronic items to help with virtual learning set up in their homes. Meijer expected to continue seeing increases in electronics purchases from teachers (routers, mice, keyboards, headphones, etc.) throughout the year.
That's right! The genius founder, Hendrik Meijer, pioneered the concept of combining groceries with items you would normally find at a department or hardware store. While he opened his first store in 1934, this bold move didn't happen until 1962.
Have you heard of Meijer's 10 for $10 weekly bargain? This one's worth keeping an eye on if you love coupons. Every week, they choose a slew of items that go for just $1 each. If you buy 10 of the $1 items, the 11th is free! We could do all of our grocery shopping with this $10 deal.
However, he warned that pallet modules, especially for HBC merchandise, tend to come with equal quantities of different products, even though those products sell at different rates. This contributes to excess back-room inventory, making it hard to locate items - the No. 1 cause of out-of-stocks, Mooney said. "If a product is out of stock, there's an 80% chance it's in the back room," he said.
Mooney added that manufacturers could help stockers locate items in the back room by making cases more identifiable. "Years ago you could identify cases, but now they're all brown boxes with maybe a bar code," he said. "Anything, like a green stripe, that makes the case unique, increases the chance the item will be in stock."
Another positive step, Mooney said, would be for manufacturers to make cases smaller or, as HBC suppliers have done, offer blister packs, a selling unit that can be sent to the store with smaller quantities. Grocery manufacturers send 12-24 items in a case, "even though they sell one-tenth as much," he said.
While asking for suppliers' cooperation, Mooney stressed in his talk that Meijer is very serious about its own responsibility for out-of-stocks, which run between 1.5% and 2% of sales for turn grocery items and about 5% for promoted items. "We've seen a big improvement in the last few months," he said.
To track this, Meijer does a weekly out-of-stock audit of 35 items at 20 stores. Last year, the chain started an audit focused on GM products. "We go through the store and, if there's a hole, we scan it and then analyze why it was out of stock," he said. Reflecting the chain's seriousness, Meijer makes prevention of out-of-stocks part of the incentive structure for store managers. "When it's part of their pay, it gets their attention," Mooney said.
Another strategy Meijer uses is to rein in excessive ordering at stores. "Everybody at stores wants to order stuff," Mooney said. "I try to convince retail not to let them [over-order]. If they need something, they can get a rush order out of the warehouse." In some cases, stores adjust store inventory levels to justify excessive orders. The chain's buyers also have to be limited to ordering items included in a store planogram.
Meijer encourages stores to adopt best practices in stocking shelves, such as anticipating where out-of-stocks may occur. "You need a plan," Mooney said. "What are the problem items? Before holes occur, take out a cart full of those items." Ultimately, there's no magic solution to stocking shelves, he noted. "It's just basic blocking and tackling."
Meijer is also grappling with the larger issue of SKU proliferation that often leads to cluttered back rooms and out-of-stocks. "The consumer wants choices, but where do you draw the line?" Mooney said. "Should we make grocery departments bigger, or cut back on items?"
You can return any general merchandise item with a receipt within 90 days of purchase for a full refund. If you do not have a receipt, Meijer will only refund you the lowest promotional or sales price of the item. To be accepted for a return with or without the receipt, the item must be in its original packaging with any original accessories that came with the item. Any items from the electronics department must be returned within 30 days to receive a refund.
