Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Meijer Inc. recently purchased a 40-acre site near Sussex, for $5.25 million, where it plans to build a 192,000-square-foot store and a gas station.
The property, located at N51 W24799 Lisbon Road, was sold by Steven Schellin. Meijer plans to have the site annexed to the village of Sussex for development of the store.
Meijer stores have large grocery departments and general merchandise departments.

The company has been acquiring sites for those stores recently.
