Pure Michigan Business Connect (PMBC), the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), and the MSU Product Center are partnering with Meijer to connect their market format stores (Bridge Street, Capital City, Rivertown, and Woodward Corner) to Michigan food and beverage suppliers through a local vendor event.

The Bridge Street Local Vendor Event will include a presentation from Meijer market format store directors on how vendors can do business with their stores, resources available through the partner group (PMBC, MDARD, and MSU Product Center), and pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings with vendors and buyers/category managers.

This event will be held in Grand Rapids in early March and will be invite-only to include Michigan businesses that Meijer has selected for participation. Selected businesses will be notified with specific date and location details. Priority selection may be given to businesses who have not participated in the previous market format local vendor events held in 2022.

Interested businesses should submit an application by February 3.
