Meijer, Inc.

Meijer, Inc. is a privately owned, family-operated retailer headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Founded in 1934 by Hendrik Meijer, the company has grown to become a leading supercenter chain in the Midwest. It operates over 500 stores across Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky, and Wisconsin.

Meijer pioneered the modern supercenter concept in 1962 with the opening of "Thrifty Acres" in Grand Rapids. This combined groceries and general merchandise under one roof, allowing customers to shop for a wide range of products in a single trip. It set the standard for today's supercenters.

The company's stores offer a comprehensive selection of products and services. These include fresh produce, meat and seafood, health and beauty care, groceries, electronics, home décor, apparel, pharmacy, toys, and pet supplies.

Additionally, many locations feature fuel stations, banking services, and in-store restaurants. This provides a one-stop shopping experience for customers.

Meijer is committed to community involvement, donating more than 6% of its net profit annually to local organizations and sponsoring numerous community events. This dedication reflects the company's core values of treating team members and customers with dignity and respect, and strengthening the communities it serves.

Under the leadership of President & CEO Rick Keyes, Meijer continues to uphold the philosophy of founder Fred Meijer: "… take care of your customers, team members, and community … and all of those will take care of you, just like a family."
