Registration for the 2018 Meijer LPGA Classic 5k Run & Walk presented by Kellogg's® is now open online. The race will be powered by Gazelle Sports, and will start at 8 a.m. June 16 at Rockford High School. Each participant will receive a branded T-shirt, two daily tickets to the golf tournament, valid any one day Tuesday through Sunday, and a complimentary breakfast provided by Kellogg's after the race.

Meijer will open its tenth Wisconsin superstore at 7 a.m. on May 17 in Grand Chute. The new 195,000-square-foot supercenter, at the northwest corner of Interstate 41 and Richmond Street/State 47, will sell groceries plus apparel, electronics and general merchandise. It will have a pharmacy, garden center and separate gas station/convenience store.

Meijer's commitment to offer local products spans beyond beer and produce. Jackson County's Indian Brook Trout Farm, 5883 W. Michigan Ave., begins distributing fish to Meijer later this month. Doubling production to 300,000 pounds of rainbow trout this year, President Owen Ballow said the farm is ready for the challenge.

Meijer is expanding its apparel selection with snow, surf and skate gear from Neff, with a special collection, for "young men" only that includes graphic tees, tanks and shorts available now in some stores and in all stores by fall 2018.

Volunteer registration is now open to help out at the 2018 Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give, which will be held June 12-17, at Blythefield Country Club. The Meijer LPGA Classic needs the help of more than 700 volunteers to fill roles on 22 different committees, ranging from marshals and standard bearers to transportation and assisting inside the media center.
