COLUMBUS, Ohio — After initially adjusting their store hours in March to allow more time for employees to clean and restock, Meijer announced Thursday that those hours will be expanded to allow for more shopping time.
Instead of closing at 10 p.m., Meijer stores will close midnight local time starting Friday, May 15, and will reopen at 6 a.m. local time.
Meijer Express convenience store locations will close at 11 p.m. and open at 6 a.m. pay-at-the-pump fuel sales will remain available 24 hours a day.
Furthermore, instead of one dedicated shopping hour, Meijer will now allot 2 hours — 6-8 a.m. local time Tuesdays and Thursdays — for senior citizens and customers with chronic health conditions.
On Mondays and Wednesdays, Meijer says the hours of 6-8 a.m. will be dedicated shopping time for essential service workers (including medical workers, first responders and law enforcement) and Meijer team members.
Pharmacies will continue to open at 7 a.m. on the above days.
“These extended hours will best serve all our customers and provide more flexibility to shop Meijer stores,” said Rick Keyes, Meijer President and Chief Executive Officer, in a press release. “As communities begin to re-open, it’s more important than ever that we find new ways to adjust and reshape how our customers shop for products they need while keeping their families safe.”
