Meijer's commitment to innovation has led to continued growth in both the number of Meijer supercenters and the company's geographic footprint. From the 1960's when the company had 26 stores and 4,000 team members in Michigan, to the more than 180 stores and 60,000 team members in five states that make up today's Meijer, the company continues to do business based on the simple philosophy that led Hendrik Meijer to start his business in 1934—take care of your customers, team members and your community.From development to the environment, Meijer is committed to helping the markets we serve become better places to live, work and play. We have long been a leader in helping build communities, and our constant involvement has helped us become an asset to those areas we serve.
