Feeling the weight of competition from other supercenter operators, specifically Wal-Mart, Meijer (Grand Rapids, Mich.) opened a new 215,000-square-foot supercenter in Aurora, Ill. It's the retailer's fourth store in Illinois and the first of four new stores Meijer intends to open in the general Chicago area.
