As a new
Meijer store is moving into Manistee, with a spring opening date on the horizon, that has meant hundreds of new jobs being filled.
Michigan Works! helped the big-box retailer fill 270 jobs in Manistee--the standard number hired on at each new Meijer's opening.
Hundreds of applicants were interviewed in person at a recent event.
"The job fair for our new Meijer Store in Manistee was a tremendous success," says Maureen Mitchell, regional market director for Meijer. "We were very pleased with how smooth the process went and thoroughly impressed with the high quality candidates we interviewed from the local community over the course of our four-day hiring event. Everyone at Manistee Michigan Works shared their passion to impact their community and came in every day with high energy, creating an incredibly positive environment. Their partnership was truly influential in the success of our hiring event."
The new store, a Meijer supercenter, will be located at xxx Caberfae Highway in Manistee. The few jobs still available include openings for a cake decorator, customer service representative, and pharmacist.
