Meijer will host 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 from Nov. 1-30 for consideration.

Qualified companies must be able to perform work within the Meijer six-state footprint (MichiganIndianaOhioIllinoisWisconsin 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 and 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 the submissions 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.”

Across the Midwest, Meijer works with many local construction partners, including Taylor Brothers Construction Co. in Columbus, Indiana. The partnership with Meijer has grown in the last decade, beginning as a sub-supplier through other general contractors and, with their growing success, became a direct partner with the retailer on several construction projects.

“Since 2013, we’ve had an incredible journey with Meijer, working on various projects, including signage, fixtures, and as a subcontractor for new stores and remodels,” said Tyshaun Allen, VP of Taylor Brothers Construction Co.

“Meijer has been instrumental to our growth. Their commitment to quality, innovation and inclusion has inspired us to continually improve and expand our capabilities. We look forward to many more years of our successful partnership.”
