Meijer

We shop here often. I wish they had a bigger canned cat food selection like some of the other Meijer stores I have been in. Women’s clothing section can be confusing when trying to find certain sizes of clothing. The rest of the store is comparable with other Meijer stores.

Meijer is great no matter where you can find one. This location is wonderful, always has a great deal in stock and very clean. So glad this opened up and we are able to avoid going to the hell hole known as Wal-​Mart just down the street.

Wow! It’s like the place down the street… we’ll call it Mall-​Wart
I’m going through the store thinking the line from «The Blues Brothers». «Hey, this mall has everything» Now I’ve never been IN a Meijer before since they don’t have them on the west coast but when I worked in the garment district in L.A. I shipped plenty of stuff to them so this was a chance to see something new. There’s a Mall-​Wart down the street and I chose Meijer because it’s new and different for me.
I was not disappointed in the least. The prices are great and the selection was even better. Some the same as I’m used to and some different. The employees were friendly and seemed to know their store.
There is a meat counter/​butcher which Uncle Wally doesn’t have. The fresh produce is way fresher than any i’ve found at home at Uncle Wally’s too.
My cousin and I were shopping to feed an army for a family reunion and HEAPED a cart full of food and drink… Plus I needed soap and some new toothpaste. We found great deals on things we didn’t even know we wanted and managed to find everything we needed and it didn’t break the bank. I was surprised at the prices… or was it out superior shopping skills??? Maybe a little of both!!! Not to mention we had fun… but then again, we can have fun anywhere!
We need these in California!!!

Meijer is the greatest store of all time. Imagine Target but about a million times better. They have everything your heart desires and then on top of it, everything you had no idea you needed until you saw it calling your name on those shelves. Come here for camping supplies, gluten-​free foods, beer, electronics, clothing, office supplies, rugs, tiki torches, fireworks, produce, and beyond! I only wish that they had a better prepared foods/​deli section. Otherwise, it’s the best.
Also, Meijer makes for some surprisingly good people-​watching.
My favorite part of the experience might be the 80-​year-​old man at the door who greets each customer warmly as they walk in the door. «I’m great, thanks for asking!»

Let’s be honest– if Meijer and every other large grocery store were in a boxing match you know who would win. The prices are great, the elderly greeters make you feel like you’re going to visit grandma & grandpa, and the staff is actually friendly and helpful.
This location isn’t as mind-​blowing as say, Traverse City, but it’s right on par with the size of Ludington. Three cheers for Meijer!

Clean
Huge
Friendly employees
Reasonable prices

What’s not to like?

Buying a loaf of bread in Glen Arbor, MI is about as costly as purchasing a full meal at a restaurant (I kid, sort of), so it’s a good idea to pick up your staples for the season outside of town and bring them with you. As the closest major grocery store is in Traverse City and I don’t want to leave the beach that long, this Meijer’s is a godsend. I can hit it on the drive up, no fuss, no mess.
Super conveniently located just off of 31 — if you are on your way to Leelanau County, you have to go by here anyway. It’s 24 hours, so if you are doing a late night drive, no problemo. They also sell ice and freezer bags so you can keep your perishables in good shape for the last hour or two (depending on how many deer insist on throwing themselves into your path and how much fog is creeping over the road) of your drive.
It’s Meijer — they have a good selection of everything and lots of local brands to boot, hooray! This Meijer has an exceptional cheese selection too, something I appreciate as I like to keep a good stock of cheese on hand at the cottage for entertaining. Wide booze selection, too, but Michigan doesn’t allow liquor sales after 2am, so if you get in too late you are out of luck. I typically stock our cottage with basics (pasta, cleaning supplies, sauce, soup, cheese, milk, spices, oils, crackers, paper goods, batteries, etc.) for the season for about $ 200 annually. If I bought the same items at our local store in Glen Arbor, I’d be paying about twice that.
Cheap gas station here too and, if you are driving from Chicago, perfectly situatued as you should be at about ¼ of a tank by the time you get here. Gas up here before you continue the trek North as it only gets more expensive as you go and gas stations are fairly scarce once you get off of 31. Trust me on this, you don’t want to run out of gas at 4am in Leelanau County, so gas her up cheap here and hit the road.

I’m impressed! I expected more of a Walmart like quality and it’s much more of a Target feel. The product variety is pretty incredible. Almost better than my Target back home in California. Another plus is it’s open 24 hours. Coming from Hart, MI (about 30 miles away?), this is extremely helpful considering grocery stores close at 8:00 p.m. (Soooo foreign to a California girl). It’s always nice knowing you have an option when you realize you need corn flakes for cheesy potato casserole at 11:00 p.m. the night before Thanksgiving!
