Meijer's Group Vice President of Foods, Don Sanderson said,

"We're excited to provide our customers with yet another way to shop. This new concept store will not only provide our customers with everything they need on their weekly shopping trip but also a quick and easy solution for when they realize they left the key ingredient off their list while cooking dinner."

Starting in 2018, the first smaller neighborhood markets opened in Bridge Street Market in Grand Rapids, Woodward Corner Market in Royal Oak, Capital City Market in the Lansing area, and the newly opened Rivertown Market in Detroit.
