New Grocery Concept Set to Open Next Month
Fishers, IN · August 11, 2026
Drizzle is hanging over town early this morning, but a full slate of community gatherings will keep things moving today.
The Lead
Retail options are expanding as Meijer prepares to open a new 75,000-square-foot store on Southeastern Parkway next month. Located near the 15700 block, the streamlined facility is about 20 percent smaller than the retailer's traditional supercenters. Designed specifically around grocery needs, the site will focus heavily on fresh produce, a full-service deli and bakery, meat departments, and a pharmacy, accompanied by an adjacent gas station.
This marks only the second location in the state built under the company's standalone grocery format, following an earlier launch in Noblesville. Civil work and site finishing on Southeastern Parkway are nearing completion as interior stocking gets underway. Expect finalized opening dates and ribbon-cutting details from city officials within the next few weeks.
