A new Meijer supercenter opens in Plymouth Township on September 30, 2026, at 48025 5 Mile Rd. The 159,000 sq. ft. store will be Meijer's 130th location in Michigan and sits on the former Detroit House of Corrections property — a significant land-use shift for that corridor.

What the New Meijer Supercenter Coming to Plymouth Township September 30 Actually Represents

This opening is worth paying attention to beyond the ribbon-cutting. Meijer doesn't pick sites randomly. A 159,000 sq. ft. commitment on a redeveloped corrections facility tells you the retailer sees long-term population and spending strength in this part of Plymouth Township.

Maureen Mitchell, Vice President of the Southeast Michigan Region for Meijer, put it plainly at the announcement: "The value and convenience provided by our Meijer supercenters is unmatched, and we're excited to bring that to customers in Plymouth Township looking for a one-stop shop."

For anyone who lives near the 5 Mile Rd. corridor, that means full grocery, pharmacy, apparel, and general merchandise under one roof, without a long drive toward Canton or Livonia.
