The official opening date for Meijer in Austintown has been set.

The Meijer supercenter on Mahoning Avenue will open its doors on May 8, and the Meijer Express gas station is set for an April 10 opening. 

Anyone interested in a job opening at any of the local Meijer locations in Boardman, Austintown and Niles should apply online.

The stores, located on Mahoning Avenue, occupy the site of the former Austintown Middle School, which closed in 2007 and was demolished in 2017.

The store will offer a variety of departments, including fresh produce sourced from over 250 Midwest farms, a pharmacy with services such as immunizations and prescription refills, home goods, and pet supplies.

Meijer operates more than 500 stores in six states, including locations in Howland and Boardman.

Two other stores in Medina and Richmond Heights will also open on May 8.
