INDIANAPOLIS – Meijer is looking to save you a trip to the grocery store, as they will soon roll out home delivery in Indianapolis.
Beginning April 13, shoppers with a Shipt membership will have the opportunity to add more than 55,000 items to their mobile cart. Orders can be scheduled for a later time or delivered within the hour.
“We are excited to expand our relationship with Shipt because together we can offer customers across the Midwest a whole new level of convenience, product variety, and service not available before,” Meijer President and CEO Rick Keyes said. “Now customers can shop a complete grocery list online, having access to our world class assortment of fresh produce, meat, dairy and a number of other essentials that Shipt will hand select from a local Meijer store and deliver to a customer’s doorstep.”
Customers may choose a monthly or annual membership to Shipt. For $99 a year, members will receive unlimited free grocery deliveries on all orders over $35.
The service will help create about 10,000 jobs across six states in 2017, said Bill Smith, founder & CEO of Shipt.

Home delivery will also be available in Grand Rapids and Fort Wayne with several other cities in Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin to follow.
Mejier’s decision to expand was prompted by the successful launch in Detroit last fall.
“The way our customers shop continues to evolve,” said Meijer Chairman Hank Meijer. “We believe the high-touch service that Shipt offers, coupled with what our customers love about shopping at Meijer, creates a new type of shopping experience.”
