Pharmacy Drive-Up Fact Sheet

Store Remodel:

• In an effort to update its older stores to its most recent merchandise/floor plan, Meijer is remodeling the interior of a majority of its stores over the next three years.

• One part of this remodel is to relocate the pharmacy/HBC department from its current location at the rear of the store to the front corner of the store, between the general merchandise entrance and the garden center.

• In order to offer our pharmacy customers a convenience that they have come to expect in the retail pharmacy business, a pharmacy drive-up window will be added to the front of the building between the GM entrance and the garden center.

Pharmacy Drive-Up Use:

• The pharmacy business represents approximately 1.5% of the total business at a Meijer store.

• Approximately 15% of the pharmacy transactions are done at the drive-up.

• As a comparison, approximately 70% of fast food business is at the drive-through and 50-60% for banks.
