The Meijer store would be located at Highways K and 164 with about 60 percent of the store would be grocery. The store, which would also consist of retail and pharmacy, is expected to a little less than 200,000 square feet.
The company has about 200 stores in the Midwest and plans to open three other stores in the metro area.
A public hearing regarding modification of village ordinance involved in the project will be held on Oct. 23.
