It takes guts to start a business during the Great Depression. And it takes vision to keep it going.
Our founder, Hendrik Meijer, opened Thrifty Acres in 1934. Nearly thirty years later, his son, Fred, pioneered the world's first-ever supercenter, laying the groundwork for what we are today: a multi-billion-dollar household name in retail. But we’re not stopping there.
We recently launched the nation’s largest grocery home-delivery service, once again reinventing the grocery shopping experience.
While a lot has changed over the years, one thing remains the same: we are still family-owned. That sense of family is fundamental to everything we do. It’s the difference between selling a product and serving a community, and it’s the reason we’ve given back over $30 million to local food pantries in the last ten years.
So, if you share our pioneering spirit and take pride in helping others, we would love to connect with you. And together, we can bring more good to life and our community.
