About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary morning in Meijer’s produce section when a delivery driver noticed something unusual. The apples were talking. Curious, he leaned closer and heard them whispering about how sour some customers were that day. Smiling, he thought it must be his imagination until another box of bananas nodded knowingly. By closing time, everyone knew about it—even the manager joined in on the fun, pretending to count oranges while secretly listening to their latest gossip. It turned out that Meijer’s produce section had its very own nightly chat show.

2. While stocking shelves one day, a young employee overheard a regular muttering, ‘I’ve been coming here for years, but today I finally found the self-checkout that talks back.’ Curious, the kid approached the kiosk and heard it whisper, 'Did you scan those bananas yet?' Turns out, the checkout was just having an off-day. The next morning, everyone in town knew not to trust Meijer's self-checkouts after hours.

3. In the dairy aisle of Meijer, a middle-aged man whispered to himself, ‘Why do they always run out of milk just when I’m here?’ Just then, an elderly lady turned around and asked him, ‘Sir, are you talking to yourself again? They never seem to restock before I come!’ With a smile, he replied, ‘Probably because they know I’ll keep coming back for more milk.’

4. In the frozen food aisle of Meijer, a customer asked aloud, 'Why does everyone look so happy here?' Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver turned around with a smile and replied, ‘Because everything’s cheaper than our worries outside!’ The customer laughed and realized that sometimes happiness is as simple as finding affordable groceries in Meijer.
