More grocery store retailers are good for consumers but could be bad for smaller retailers.
STARK COUNTY, Ohio — The shelves are stocked and the doors are almost open at Meijer Super Center in Jackson Township.
He said it’s really a one-stop shop with everything you need from groceries to electronics, pet supplies, pharmaceuticals, plants, home goods and clothing. “A very good thing,” he said. “When the mega-stores, the Wal-Mart, the Target Super-centers come in, they’re able to buy products and distribute at such quantities and really drive prices lower.”“The smaller the store that you are and the less buying power you have, the more challenging it is to pass on savings to customers,” he said. “Smaller kind of mom and pop grocery stores. I mean, those folks have had the most difficult time competing, particularly, the supply chain is brutal for them.
“If the city of North Canton allows Meijer to construct a store, it will be detrimental to Acme as well as many other retailers including other Northeast Ohio retailers like Marc’s, Discount Drug Mart,” he said. “We will suffer the largest loss in sales because of our proximity to Meijer.”
