Nearly Done! Hill Road Meijer Finishing Renovation Just in Time for November

Residents in and around Genesee County have been going to Meijer for nearly four decades, specifically since 1981 when we talk about Meijer store #44 on Hill Road in Mundy Township.

UPDATE (11/8/2025): The project has been completed. The crews are just removing equipment at this point. 

A Look Back at the Original Store

Originally known as Meijer Thrifty Acres, construction began in the late 1970s and the store first opened for business in 1981.

In the 1990s, that store and many others were renovated, some even featuring a McDonald’s inside where customers could grab a Big Mac and keep shopping.

Renovation Brings Big Changes and Challenges

Since March of 2024, the Hill Road Meijer has been undergoing a massive storewide renovation. While the upgrades have made the inside look amazing, the process has been a challenge for some customers.

Temporary product rearrangements, sections of the parking lot closed off for construction, and overall congestion have made shopping a little tricky.

Final Touches and Completion Timeline

Now, there’s good news for shoppers who’ve been patient through it all. A Meijer representative confirmed that all interior construction is complete, and the final phase — resurfacing and reconstructing the parking lot — is nearly finished. Crews were delayed slightly but are now working on the southwest section, painting, landscaping, and completing a new walkway that runs the length of the parking lot.

If all goes as planned, the store says the entire renovation project should be completely finished during the first week of November 2025.
