April 27, 2015

For shoppers looking to maximize their time, Meijer has launched a new way to shop called Meijer Curbside. The shopping service allows customers to shop for their items online and enjoy the convenience of picking up their groceries curbside without leaving the car, according to a company releae.

Currently being piloted at the Knapp's Corner store in Grand Rapids, Mich., the Meijer Curbside program uses specially trained team members to select every item in a customer's order and shop according to special instructions and personal preferences. Meijer is considering future rollout possibilities in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky later this year.

"The way customers shop for food is changing, and Meijer Curbside is one more way we are striving to find solutions to everyday challenges and bring more convenience to our customers," Michael Ross, vice president of customer marketing and emerging technology, said in a company release. "Meijer Curbside allows us to help our customers save time by remotely shopping for items throughout our store and choosing their own personal pick-up time."
