Meijer

Meijer is a family-owned grocery chain operating in the Midwest. Meijer operates 204 stores throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. The supercenter stores offer groceries as well as departments such as fashion, automotive, home decor, health and beauty care, pharmacy, electronics and banking. Meijer pioneered the idea of a superstore when, in 1962, it opened its first "Thrifty Acres," a food and general merchandise store that allowed customers to shop for everything they needed with just one trip to the store. Today brothers Hank and Doug Meijer, grandsons of the founder, run the company.
