Meijer’s Bridge Street is Officially Open in Grand Rapids

Meijer just opened its first Bridge Street Market grocery store in downtown Grand Rapids.

According to WOOD TV, Bridge Street Market opened at 8 a.m. followed by a ceremonial ribbon cutting at 10 a.m.

Meijer kicked off the festivities by donating $5,000 to five different local charities.

There has been a lot of excitement for residents who have been waiting a long time for the market to open. It's a great opportunity for all those that live downtown to not have to travel to the suburbs to shop.

There is a reason Market is in the name, since there is a huge emphasis on fresh produce for Bridge Street Market. There will be plenty of Meijer and national brand items to choose from as well.

For a downtown grocery store, the set up is massive with 37,000 square feet of shopping space and of course, a built-in coffee shop.

The hours for Bridge Street Market are 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday. You can find the market on Grand Rapids' West Side on Bridge Street between Stocking and Seward Avenues.
