Meijer Offers Home Delivery in 25 Southeast Michigan Stores

Grand Rapids-based Meijer said Thursday it will launch home grocery delivery service to 25 stores in Detroit and southeast Michigan, beginning Sept. 15.

The retailer is partnering with the smartphone app-company Shipt to offer delivery grocery services of 55,000 items seven days a week from 24-hour Meijer locations. Deliveries are promised within an hour of ordering.

“This is yet one more option to make shopping at Meijer easier for our customers,” Michael Ross, vice president of digital shopping and customer marketing, said in a statement “We believe our relationship with Shipt will provide many of our customers an all-encompassing service that will save them time and add a new convenience when shopping at Meijer.”

Shipt’s grocery delivery service is membership-based, with either annual or monthly options. For $99 a year, Shipt members receive unlimited free grocery deliveries on all orders over $35. Customers who subscribe to Shipt prior to launch date will also receive $25 off their first delivery.

After signing up for Shipt, members can shop a large selection of Meijer groceries and everyday essentials, including baby, health and beauty products. They can also note any preferences, choose a preferred delivery window and pay for their order. A Shipt shopper will hand pick their items and deliver them in as little as one hour after the order is placed.

Leading up to the launch, Shipt will build a network of hundreds of shoppers and identify opportunities to support community organizations throughout the Detroit area.

“The Meijer commitment to quality food, excellent customer service, and dedication to the communities they serve is what makes them an ideal partner,” Bill Smith, founder and CEO of Shipt. “Through our relationship with Meijer, we will make life easier for busy individuals and families, and also create jobs in the Detroit area.”

Because most Meijer stores are open 24 hours a day, Shipt deliveries will be available at some Meijer locations 24 hours a day, seven days a week with the exception of certain holidays once the service launches in the Detroit area.
