Meijer has set a May 16th date to open its newest superstore in the Valley.

The Howland Township store is on the site of the former Kmart along Route 46 in the Eastwood Mall complex.  The Meijer Express gas station is set to open on April 20.

With another store in Boardman, the Howland store will bring to 52 the number of stores in Ohio.

Meijer submitted plans last week for another store planned along Mahoning Avenue in Austintown.

The supercenter will sell grocery staples, fresh produce, bakery, meat, and deli, as well as offer a floral area and garden center. Other departments will include pharmacy, pets, electronics, toys, sports, and apparel.
