GRAND RAPIDS ? Meijer is plunging into the international grocery market by creating a new web site that will offer thousands of grocery and drugstore items online.
MeijerDoorstepGrocer.Com features thousands of items in single-pack or smaller sizes. Of the approximately 5,000 items available, more than 3,000 are individual-size products. The remaining products for sale on the site are available in multi-pack or bulk sizes.
In addition to non-perishable national and Meijer brand grocery and beverage products available, the online site sells baby supplies, pet food, cleaning supplies, laundry products and health food, along with everyday health and beauty items.
The new online grocery site will be available for shoppers in all 50 states. Shipping costs start at $7.95, and are calculated based on the value of the individual order. Most deliveries are received within two to four days of ordering, and there is no minimum order requirement for delivery. International shipping is also available for an additional charge.
For a limited time, Meijer is offering a 10 percent discount on orders exceeding $100. To receive the discount, customers need to enter the promo code GROCERY.
Meijer operates 195 stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. As the inventor of the ?one-stop shopping? concept, Meijer stores have evolved through the years to include expanded fresh produce and meat departments, as well as pharmacies, comprehensive electronics departments, garden centers and apparel offerings.
The new site, www.MeijerDoorstepGrocer.com, is the retailer?s first effort to sell non-bulk groceries online and is also the retailer?s first foray into international online sales.
