Meijer Eyes Abandoned Kmart Store

Meijer is eyeing the site of an abandoned Kmart store in Orion Township. Located at 1025 S. Lapeer Rd. in the Lake Orion Plaza, the old Big K store would be demolished and replaced with a 90,000 square-foot Meijer store. The new Meijer store will not be a full-size supercenter, but it will carry more than just groceries. Although Meijer says it’s too early to release details like project start and completion dates, the owner of the shopping center believes that the company is aiming for a late 2022 opening.
