Retailer and supermarket chain Meijer announced today in a release that the chain will be adding 1,800 jobs to Indiana stores.
The company announced the addition of more than 10,000 jobs to the Midwest.
The influx of jobs comes as a result of the company adding new store locations and preparations for the upcoming fall and holiday selling season.
Though many of these jobs will be available on a part-time basis, there are also specialized jobs that need to be filled, such as meat cutting and cake decorating in the store’s bakery.
Open positions are available at all Meijer stores, the release said.
Michael Rotelle, senior vice president of human resources for Meijer, said the growing retailer will seek to add on to their staff following the holiday season.
“While most of these opportunities are part time and seasonal, these jobs can provide a gateway to a full-time career at Meijer,” Rotelle said. “As we continue to grow, we are frequently looking to fill our on-going part-time and full-time needs.”
Stores in several of the surrounding states including Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky will also be adding jobs.
Store loations in Michigan will be adding 4,800 jobs in the coming months.
Meijer stores are open 24 hours every day of the year except Christmas Day.
