Dive Brief: Meijer has received local planning commission approval to build a new store in Orion Township, Michigan, that would be less than half the size of the retailer's typical location. The proposed new store, which a Meijer spokesperson said in an email is "still very early in the process," would occupy approximately 90,000 square feet and primarily carry food, according to the minutes of a public hearing on April 21 conducted by the township's planning commission. The new Meijer location would be significantly different from the superstores that characterize the chain, which is known for its one-stop shopping approach to retailing.
