GRAND RAPIDS,Mich. — Meijer is preparing to hire thousands of new team members for its stores in response to company growth and in preparation for the fall and holiday selling seasons, announced Janet Emerson, executive vice president of operations for the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer.

“Meijer has already opened five of the six new stores planned for this year, with another nine opening next year,” Emerson said. “Our continued growth, along with the upcoming holiday selling season, make it imperative that we increase our staffing to properly operate our stores and deliver on the Meijer promise of providing exceptional customer service.”

Meijer stores are open 24 hours, and only close on Christmas Day. While staffing needs vary from store to store, all Meijer stores have positions available. The retailer is planning to hire more than 9,000 new team members. Here’s a breakdown of the need:

· Michigan: 4,400 team members
· Ohio: 1,600 team members
· Indiana: 1,800 team members
· Illinois: 900 team members
· Kentucky: 500 team members

Interested candidates are asked to complete an online application at www.jobs.meijer.com. During the online application process, prospective team members can indicate their store preference. Candidates may also complete an online application at the employment kiosks located at the front of most Meijer stores. Local store management will then follow up with qualified candidates.
