Grand Rapids, Mich., Sept. 1, 2016 - Meijer is working with Shipt, an app-based company, to launch a home grocery delivery service in Detroit and southeastern Michigan, providing customers another convenient way to shop its stores.

Beginning Sept. 15, shoppers will be able to use the Shipt smartphone app to shop 55,000 items from one of 25 Detroit-area Meijer stores offering the service and choose a one-hour delivery window that is most convenient for them, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The new service is part of an agreement between the Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer and Shipt.
