 PROFILE
Meijer (pronounced "Meyer") is the green giant of retailing in the Midwest. The company operates about 140 combination grocery and general merchandise stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio. Its huge stores (which average 200,000 to 250,000 sq. ft. each, or about the size of four regular grocery stores) stock about 130,000 items, including Meijer private-label products. Customers can choose from about 40 departments, including hardware, apparel, toys, and electronics. Most stores also sell gasoline, offer banking services, and have multiple in-store restaurants. Founder Hendrik Meijer opened his first store in 1934; the company is still family-owned.
