Meet The Loneliest Meijer Gas Station In Michigan
The best things in life come in pairs: socks, Twix bars, Zach and Cody, gin and tonic, etc. It's just a fact. Sure, a chili dog is good, but a chili and cheese dog?! Yeah. Something else that comes in pairs is a Meijer and a Meijer Express gas station, though it's important to note that it is not a set-in-stone rule.

You can have a Meijer and no gas station, but you don't usually see a Meijer gas station and no store accompanying it. Meijer gas stations aren't franchised like Circle K or Marathon, but there is an exception to this. One lonely Meijer gas station has been in solitary confinement for years, yearning for a friend.
Broadmoor Meijer Gas Station
On Broadmoor Ave in Caledonia, you'll find a Meijer gas station that has sat alone since it was built in 2021. Meijer reportedly owns this large swath of land and there have been rumors of a plan to build a new Meijer here, despite the Gaines Township Meijer being located just five miles up the road, but Meijer hasn't made any indication a store is coming.
For a time, development plans looked promising. The Meijer gas station has been operating since 2022. In 2023, it got its first friend, Taco John's, which shared an entrance with it. This looked like the start of a development wave hitting that area.

However, Taco John's suddenly closed its doors in September 2024, leaving the gas station alone once more. How the land will be used is still up in the air, but it seems like it will only be a matter of time before a Meijer store is finally built behind this gas station.
We can only hope the gas station gets some company soon.
