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 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 Lansing in August 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.
Interested businesses should submit an application by July 15.
