GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Meijer has launched a new feature in the Meijer app and website to help families seamlessly get the school supplies requested by their teachers. The new digital “School Supply List” technology allows parents to enter their zip code, search for their school’s supply lists, and then add those items to their cart. The functionality connects Meijer shoppers to teacher-curated lists from more than 5,000 school districts, updated and ready for the 2024/25 school year.
The company is also introducing Meijer brand school supplies in an ongoing effort to provide value to families. he debut includes Meijer brand markers, crayons, colored pencils, glue sticks, and glue, ranging in price from 25 cents to $1 through Labor Day, available on store shelves now.
“We know families already have full schedules, and back-to-school season is a busy time with lots of information coming in from schools, teachers, and extracurriculars,” said Karen Langeland, VP of merchandising for Meijer. “Our goal is to make back-to-school shopping as easy as possible for families while providing as much value and savings as we can, so we’re excited to offer the new school supply list technology, teacher coupon, and our new Meijer brand school supplies.”
For the fourth consecutive year, Meijer is offering teachers 15 percent off school and home office equipment through a coupon available at the customer service desk. Through Sept. 7, the coupon can also be used on additional categories like kids’ apparel and cleaning supplies. Meijer will continue to offer a 15 percent coupon on school supplies and home office products for teachers throughout the school year.
Teachers can get the discount, in the form of a paper coupon, by presenting a current school ID at their local Meijer Customer Service desk. The coupon can only be used for purchases made in-store and some restrictions apply. Teachers can take advantage of the coupon repeatedly by obtaining a new one any time they return to Meijer.
“As teachers and parents are challenged with spending more than ever this year on school supplies and clothing, we are excited to introduce our new high-quality Meijer brand school supplies to help make their budget go even further,” Langeland added.
