(Cranberry Township, PA) Meijer, a grocery store chain based in Michigan, has recently announced that its first location in Western Pennsylvania will be in Cranberry Township after Meijer submitted plans formally for that new location. According to a recent report from the Butler Eagle, Meijer is planning to buld a 159,000-square-foot supercenter in the northeast corner of Route 228 and Franklin Road near North Catholic High School. Meijer will sell their grocery store products in that location in the future and these submission plans for their new location in Cranberry Township come not too long after Meijer announced that they will expand their businesses into Western Pennsylvania. Meijer has over 500 stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.
