"Meijer is a family company committed to serving other families across the Midwest," said Calli Schmid, vice president of grocery for Meijer. "By accepting SNAP benefits on the Meijer app, we are providing participants with more options and flexibility to shop for the groceries they need and want, while also reducing barriers that may prevent them from eating well."
The company is continuing to offer a 10 percent discount on SNAP purchases of qualifying produce thanks to a waiver granted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2022.
Meijer also became the first retailer nationwide in 2023 to accept SNAP benefits through the Flashfood app, which allows customers to purchase surplus close-dated food at a deep discount.
With the Meijer app, SNAP participants can now shop for more than 100,000 items, including fresh produce, meat, dairy and pantry staples, and pay for them with their EBT card digitally or in store.
