Meijer is seeking food products from food manufacturers across the globe to expand its Frederik's by Meijer line of food in its more than 260 supercenters and grocery stores across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin.

Prospective vendors interested in partnering with Meijer to offer their retail-ready products as part of the retailer's premium quality food line should submit their interest here. By submitting information into the RangeMe system, vendors are making their products available for Meijer merchants to consider throughout the year.

"We're excited to find additional partners that share our passion for innovation to bring new products to our customers and grow our businesses together," said Don Sanderson, Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer at Meijer.

To qualify, manufacturers must offer retail-ready products that embody the flavor and ingredients the brand stands for to create an elevated experience for Meijer customers. Additionally, eligible products must be produced in a facility that passes third-party GFSI audits, have ingredient panels that comply with FDA and USDA regulations and have retail-ready packaging.

Applicants should submit their products via the retailer's partner, RangeMe. The Meijer team will then pull from products listed on RangeMe as they review products by category throughout the year. This year, Meijer merchants expect to review products in the following categories: cocktail mixers, coffee, espresso pods, sauces, marinades and cooking sauces, soup, baking chips, refrigerated cookie dough, frozen desserts, bakery cookies and bakery sweet goods. However, vendors producing products in other food categories also are encouraged to apply at any time.  

While they may not qualify for this opportunity, vendors carrying services or products that do not fit the categories currently being considered are encouraged to still submit their information for consideration through the retailer's prospective vendor page.

Meijer is a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based retailer that operates more than 500 supercenters, neighborhood markets, Meijer Grocery and Express locations throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
