The remodel projects will include a variety of improvements such as lighting, heating, refrigeration, exterior lighting and parking lot maintenance. New technology will also be installed to reduce energy usage.
“We will continue our process of slow, steady growth,” co-chairman and co-chief executive officer Hank Meijer said. “This has allowed us to focus on our customers and team members, while supporting the communities where they work and live.”
