Lisle Meijer Superstore and How It Will Affect You
Information

• What is the Lisle Meijer? If built, it would be 215,000 square feet (almost 2 Home Depots), open 24 hours a day — 7 days a week with 50 cash registers & 1,100 parking spaces, a gas station, and 3 additional outlot stores. The Lisle Meijer would be 6,000 square feet larger than the Bolingbrook Meijer.
• Meijer sells items such as BB guns, black powder, air rifles, and ammunition.
• Schools located within 1 mile of the proposed site are Steeple Run Elementary, Kennedy Jr. High School, and Benet High School.
• The proposed Meijer site was planned for Public/ Institutional use in Lisle’s 1995 Land Use Plan, consistent with decades of planning.
• Meijer is far beyond the scope of Public/ Institutional use which suggests far less intrusive uses.
• If built, Meijer will be the only superstore on Chicago Avenue/ Maple Avenue/ 55th Street and easily be the largest free-standing store of its kind in DuPage County.
• The Village has spent thousands of taxpayer dollars to force gasoline service stations to locate only at major intersections — until Meijer.
