Meijer

Love them except when they are out of add items…

Love shopping here great selection and prices and there is always staff on hand to get you through the lines quickly and on your way.

This is like a Walmart. I kind of want to start a peopleofmeijer dot com website to rival People of Walmart. It’s great for people watching.
Pros:
Electronic devices Best Buy does not have (Fitbit charger)
Good produce
Cheap non produce groceries.
Cons:
This is an odd layout and it doesn’t mirror Niles or Rolling Meadows
It’s a little too big box retail experience for me and FAR. But I needed to pick something up here that their website said was only available here. And it was.
Another huge pro:
Great inventory display on the website. Makes going on a ride okay and now I can go have a beer
At SE brewery since I’m out here anyways.

Great selection of food, and an outstanding fish counter. Much better than almost every dedicated grocery store in the area. Good prices and a friendly staff to boot. A little big box Walmart type feeling for my comfort zone, but overall too good to pass up.

My preferred place for groceries, prices and selection are great here.
Yes, signage can be labeled in a confusing fashion… I always plan my list based on the print ad so I know ahead what is on sale. But it can be misleading, although I don’t think they do it intentionally!
The mperks app gives me money back for baby items and pharmacy, plus coupons… so I always save vs. Walmart on baby items!
Usually the same people working and they are always nice.
Only negatives would be that the pre packaged meat selection can be sparse at times, but meat counter people will wrap up things individually for me. Certain produce items look past their prime every now and then.
The best deals here are grocery/​perishables, the general merchandise is usually not competitively priced. I go to Walmart for that!

Never ever get their sides that come with the rotisserie chicken. Unless you like cold and soggy mozzarella sticks dipped in a sour marinara sauce. Or if you like sand (mashed potatoes) and gravy. Or it’s good to get if you’re on a diet, because you probably won’t eat any of it or be turned off from all food in general. The chicken was pretty descent I guess though. And the rest of the store is good in terms of grocery store shopping.

Meijer has a huge list of medications that they give out for free with prescription. They have saved me hundreds on veterinary prescriptions, as opposed to paying for them from the veterinarian’s office. The pharmacy is great.
The Wi-​Fi is fast and cell reception is horrible if you’re not logged into the network.
There every day prices are better than Jewel’s sale prices on pretty much everything.
Their liquor prices rival the best places around, even Sam’s Club. Excellent liquor selection. Huge wine selection. Great prices on all alcohol.

What can I say about Meijer?! It ranks right up there with the best grocery shopping experiences that you can have! I have three available to me on the Randall Road corridor. Geneva, Elgin and Lake in the HIlls. The produce is absolutely amazing and priced right! Check out the stone fruit right now. The largest juiciest cherries for $ 3.99 a pound. I love the summer! You do not need to go anywhere else. They have Dairy, Meat, Sundries, Auto, Home, Clothing, Drug, Seasonal… One stop shopping… Check it out!

I do a lot of shipping for my business and as the nearest post office is 5 miles away, I was hoping to save the trip and do it all at meijer. These people are incompetent. I called twice to make sure they could ship internationally and both times I was assured that I would absolutely be able to ship. Not a prob. I get there and am told that its not possible without first going online to fill out customs forms. Now, of course if I’d known this or either of the two women I spoke with on different days had told me it wouldn’t have been a problem. But as it happened, I wasted a trip, spent more on a shipping envelope than I would have at the PO and have to go there anyway! Make sure your associates are informed enough to answer questions accurately!

I grew up in Michigan so having a Meijer nearby my house is awesome. It’s an upscale walmart. The prices are very competitive and they have pretty much everything. The store is clean and the customer service is decent for a minimum wage type worker. The deli is great and their prices are very competitive with Costco.

Of the three 24 hour super grocery market places in the area. This one feels the biggest and certainly has wider aisles and open spaces. I don’t feel claustrophobic in here and the employees seem a little more friendly.
Prices are close if not better than the Wal-​mart down the street, though I shop at both.
Meijer also sells pet fish… A strange quirk that makes me shake my head and smile, every time I pass the section.

Sign up for MPerks (Free) and you get 2 boxes of Meijer cereal for free as long as you clip the coupon. It’s free… can’t beat free, I don’t care how bad the cereal may be.

I love this grocery store. The service is good, the store is clean, and the deals are very good. I paid $.20/​lb for cabbage and $.59/​lb for ham, which kept me fed for over a week for pennies a day.

Slowest gas pumps in the Northwest suburbs!

Meijer is great shopping and quite the competitor to the local walmart. I recommend doing most of your grocery shopping here as they have most everything you will need — including a decent international aisle (British, French, German, Dutch, Asian, with emphasis on Italian and Hispanic)
Prices are very reasonable and I would highly recommend their steaks and meat.
Additional departments include housewares, clothing, a great selection of Chicago team branded sportswear and toiletries.
As withnWalmart and other stores in the area, try to get your shopping done early in the day to beat the rush.

Very clean. Amazing selection way better priced than any other grocery store in the area (except Costco). Friendly staff and clean.

Been shopping here, like, forever (well, since this location opened). When I am forced by circumstance to shop elsewhere, I am reminded Meijer is better.
Prices. That’s why.
Wal-​mart fans rave about Wal-​mart prices and I can tell you, at least for the items I buy, Meijer is better. ALWAYS. The selection is also better for the items I buy, but Wal-​mart does carry items Meijer doesn’t have, so that’s a wash.
The grocery selection is not as great as certain other stores (Woodman’s comes immediately to mind), with fewer uncommon brands, and fewer of the hundred-​thousand nearly identical variations of a single product that some manufacturers push on us in their never-​ending quest to get more shelf space and crowd out their competition. But then, if you shop at the grocery stores with mega-​selections, you have to do your non-​grocery shopping elsewhere, so that’s also a wash.
The sales are better, with something on sale everywhere you look, and often with significant savings rather than the paltry ones offered by other stores (two cents off isn’t a sale, imo). I don’t know if they read my mind and put everything I want that week on sale, or if I subconsciously alter my shopping list to accomodate mostly sale items, but I often wind up saving twenty percent or more off the total bill every time I shop, and I don’t «coupon,» so if you do, all the better. That’s with the regular prices being fair to begin with. I can’t remember ever looking at a price and thinking, «That’s just too much.» I do that ALL THE TIME at other stores (Jewel comes immediately to mind).
Complaints. Yeah. A few. Most of the employees are zombies. A few are quite friendly, a few are, let’s say they are efficient, but a few are obviously not a good fit for this type of job. Probably due to low pay, or so I suspect. But if they paid ‘em more, prices would go up so … I’m conflicted (but I“m sure they should be paid more).
Also, out-​of-​stock items. Often sale items. I’m flexible enough when shopping that this is not a deal-​breaker, but an empty shelf looks bad.
The only time I used their gas station I was treated like a potential criminal (because of how you pay). I only buy my gas at stations that do not treat their customers like criminals.

Love this store. I’d chose it any day over walmart or target. Beware of the carts that play movies most of the time they run out of batteries and malfunction. But the service desk will always refund the money just need to have extra time to go through the hassle.

Good prices for food and pretty much anything else. The pharmacy has great prices and some prescriptions are at not cost to you.

Oh Meijer, you have everything I could ever think of in a superstore. You’re produce is outstanding and your isles and isles of groceries keeps my cupboards full and my wallet empty. It’s not hard to spend money here, and this is one of the only place I know of that has live lobster and fresh seafood, not to mention home goods, clothes and such. Meijer makes me happy!

No customer service at this location. Usually this is one of my favorite shopping experiences when I come to Chicago.
Looking for a long sleeve T, I spotted a display with logo ed T’s advertised at 6.99 each. I selected a long sleeve Illini that was on the rack right below the sign. After going through the check out line, I discovered that I was charged 19.99.
Went to customer service, explained the situation and was asked: «Can you show me the display» — which I did. The clerk responded that the sign clearly said $ 6.99 — regularly priced — $ 9.99. I told her that I just picked up the T shirt I liked — it was on the rack marked $ 6.99 — and there were eight other shirts just like mine on the same rack.
Well — after speaking with several managers — they all said sorry — we placed the shirts on the wrong rack — cannot sell it to you for $ 6.99.
Sorry, Mejier — you lost a somewhat loyal customer — don’t like shopping at a store that does bait & switch … plus the way you talked down to me like I was trying to scam them. The irony is that next week, those same T shirts will probably be marked down anyway.

I don’t think anyone who works here likes their job. There is one person in the pharmacy that smiles everytime I see her… other than that mostly frowns and quite a bit of complaining in front of customers.
