Meijer is a family-owned retail company that began its journey in 1934 when founder Hendrik Meijer opened Thrifty Acres during the Great Depression. Nearly three decades later, his son, Fred, revolutionized the retail landscape by pioneering the world's first supercenter. This innovation has helped Meijer grow into a multi-billion-dollar household name in the retail industry.
The company continues to evolve, recently launching the nation's largest grocery home-delivery service, further transforming the grocery shopping experience. Despite the changes over the years, Meijer has maintained its commitment to community, giving back over $30 million to local food pantries in the last decade.
Meijer values the pioneering spirit that has shaped its history and is eager to connect with individuals who share that vision, emphasizing that the strength of its community lies in the family-oriented culture it fosters.
