Meijer announces open call for new construction suppliers

Meijer announced Thursday it is holding an open call for new construction services companies to be considered for the retailer’s upcoming 2025 and 2026 construction projects. Companies of all sizes can apply here through Nov. 30 for consideration.

Qualified companies must be able to perform work within the Meijer six-state footprint (Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Kentucky) and specialize in earthwork, landscaping, paving, concrete, roofing, floor painting, metal stud/drywall, fixturing, HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, electrical, traffic signals and other general skilled trades.

Interested vendors can register here for a virtual information session on Nov. 13. The session will provide more background on the opportunity, qualifications and a Q&A portion for any further questions.

“We are dedicated to cultivating a supplier base that reflects our current and future needs,” said Carla Hendon, Director of Supplier Inclusion & Indirect Procurement at Meijer. “This open call represents a significant opportunity for companies of all sizes, across multiple trades to collaborate and grow with us.”

Once applications are submitted, Meijer will review them to ensure suppliers are qualified. Accepted suppliers will be notified and included in the retailer’s communication of future construction project opportunities.

“With many upcoming projects under development, we’re excited to continue the expansion of our construction partners and invite companies of all sizes to join our roster,” said Roger Whitford, Director of Construction at Meijer. “We look forward to working alongside these great companies to enhance our customers’ in-store experience.”
