Meijer is a Midwestern supercenter that combines a grocery store with other retail formats such as general merchandise, electronics, clothing, home goods, and services like photo processing and pharmacy. Founded by Hendrik Meijer in 1934, the company started out as a small grocery store but expanded its offerings over time to appeal to changing consumer preferences.

The supercenter format is designed to provide customers with a one-stop shopping experience. A typical Meijer store spans around 190,000 square feet and offers an extensive range of products, including fresh produce, meat, dairy products, bakery goods, canned and packaged foods, pet supplies, health and beauty aids, household essentials, electronics, clothing, and home decor items.

Meijer also operates a pharmacy within its stores, offering prescription services, vaccinations, and health clinics. Customers can also access services such as photo processing, optical centers for eye exams and glasses, and other ancillary services like dry cleaning and tailoring.

The company is known for its private-label products, which account for around 20% of Meijer's sales. The store operates a loyalty program called mPerks, allowing customers to earn rewards and discounts on various purchases.

Meijer has received recognition for its sustainability efforts, including reducing energy consumption, using renewable energy sources, and implementing recycling programs within its stores.
