I have not been a fan of super stores, as they tend to either get grocery right and everything else…read morewrong, or vice versa. Walmart and Target are two examples of that. Now that I live outside of Chicago proper, I no longer have access to some of the specialty markets and grocery stores I used to frequent. Meijer tends to meet my needs when it comes to grocery, home products, casual clothing, personal care products, and gardening. Two things that stand out the most was their gardening products. I had started gardening, so seeds, plant food, gardening soil, and other gardening items were reasonably priced. Being a pescatarian, there vegetables worked for me. But now that I grow my own, the gardening catalog worked perfectly for me. As to grocery, although there has been spike in grocery prices, they were not as high as I noted at other grocery stores. It helps that I take advantage of coupons, specials, and price reductions thanks to participating in their perks program. This store serves four immediate suburbs, so it tends to get busy on weekends, for sure. I go during the middle of the day when I work from home through the week. I have yet to go and not find what I needed. And because I am a very picky shopper, primarily from the perimeter of the grocery store, I have not been disappointed in what they have.

This review is for the bakery only. I stopped into the bakery to order a cake. I had previously…read moretried to order online, but I was having a difficult time doing that. So I asked the gal at the bakery counter if I could place an order and she looked at me and said 'I don't know if you want to, I guess' . I said 'oh I said if you're busy, I'll come back' . I asked how much time she needed for me to come back and she said I'm the only one here. When I mentioned, I tried to order online. She said I don't know why you're having a problem. We're getting online orders. She was not willing to help me. It was one of the worst experiences I've had at Meijer and Meijer is my favorite store. I just said that I will go to Strack and Van Til to place my order and she said 'fine go do that'. For reference this was Sunday 5:20 PM, June 28.

This is my go to grocery store. Primarily because of the following reasons:…read more 1) The produce always has a very good shelf life one you get it home 2) Everything around the stores perimeter (aka fresh stuff) is always fresh. 3) I am always treated well by everyone I happen to interact with. 4) Shelves are mostly well stocked and mostly neatly displayed 5) There is a great variety of items to choose from.

Recently they did something to their self checkout kiosks so every time you scan an item and place…read moreit in the bag, the thing stops with a big notification and announcement "please scan all items before placing them in the bagging area", like you're a thief. You have to wait 10 seconds for it to go away to scan your next item and as soon as you bag that the obnoxious notice is back. God forbid you're trying to check out with more than a couple items or you'll be there for hours. I assume this is some kind of loss prevention thing but if you're that paranoid about someone stealing at the checkout then get rid of the kiosks and hire more checkers. And dont leave the self checkout as the only option at night. The only reason I ever went here was if I needed something later at night. Instead, from now on, I'm gonna drive the mile to the 24 hour Jewel Osco who don't call me a thief or waste my time.

Such a great store. I was so happy when Whole Foods came to Schererville a few years ago. The…read moreworkers are helpful & happy. The organic produce is amazing. Even if it's a little pricy, there are always deals with the Amazon Prime. My favorite thing to get here is the delicious cheese. So many unique & quality options. You can also get a taste if you aren't sure what to get. Amazing pairings of nuts, and fancy crackers. The best place is the Olive bar. I love all of the options. The spicy variations, the Greek olives, so many choices. Great vegetarian food in the frozen section. Salad bar for fresh food & house made food. Sushi, pizza, bakery items. I like to eat in the cute little dinning area or outside if weather permits. I almost forgot about the awesome smoothie bar when you walk in too. Not your average grocery store.

I am rating the HOT & COLD Food Bar - as the grocery store as a whole we know is expensive…read more I used to enjoy the food bar prior to covid when it was FULL and had more options that were fresh and available. Now it's mostly stuff that sits out awhile, looks dry, and there hasn't been many options to choose from. The salad bar is also half the size it used to be, but I went and was hungry and thought - I could grab fast food OR something healthier here. SO I chose this. The meatloaf appears often and it's pretty decent - but the star of the show on this HOT bar is always the VEGGIES - all different and always prepared differently. The salad bar is still a decent option - now none of this is CHEAP, but it's fresh. I do like how you can take your food outside on the tables in the sun to eat when it's a nice day. There used to be counter stools and options inside, but those are now gone. The employees are the register are super friendly and helpful. However, I don't think the employees working in the bakery/food area are very personable. They come and fill something up, but do it sloppy and don't engage with the customer.

It's the perfect place for party planning and stocking your freezer. Most items are sold in bulk so clear some space in your freezer and pantry. They offer everything you need for a restaurant kitchen, snack shop, packing lunches, or hosting company.

You know your bars best appetizer? Those yummy poppers, spinach and artichoke dip, and wins? Odds are they are purchased frozen from a restaurant supply like Gordon, Sysco. Or Aramark.
