Meijer Opens 3rd Small-Format Market Store
The store also includes open-air elements, a design inspired by local culture in the downtown area's Stadium District, and six garage-style doors that open to an outdoor fresh produce and floral area in warmer months. Local artist Brian Whitfield painted a mural that features vibrantly colored produce on the side of the market.
Capital City Market is part of the mixed-use BLOCK600 development in Lansing, and in honor of the store's opening, Cook and his team gave $15,000 to such area nonprofits as Allen Street Neighborhood Center, Salus Center, Impression 5 Science Center, All of the Above Hip Hop Academy and Friends of Lansing Regional Trails.
"At Meijer, we're committed to being a good neighbor by supporting the communities we serve," said Meijer President and CEO Rick Keyes. "We are excited to be a part of the BLOCK600 development and share our newest fresh market with a community that continues to grow."
