CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — After confirming earlier this week that it plans to open locations in Pittsburgh, major retailer Meijer has revealed where its first location will be.

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, the Butler Eagle reported.

A Forbes profile of the chain states that Meijer is a family-owned grocery chain operating in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin. Its supercenter stores offer groceries but also have departments such as fashion, automotive, home decor, health and beauty care, pharmacy, electronics and banking.
