No. Michigan-based supermarket chain Meijer is a private, family-owned retailer run by the Meijer family. You're probably thinking of the food-and-drug chain, Fred Meyer, which Kroger acquired in 1999 in a $13 billion deal.
Meijer, founded in 1934, boasts 204 stores across five states in the US and has made Hank Meijer (CEO and co-chairman) and his brother Doug some of the richest billionaires in the world.
Today, Kroger offers a store format for nearly every kind of shopper. Our formats include supermarkets, multi-department stores, price-impact warehouse stores, convenience and fine jewelry stores.
They operate under nearly two dozen banners, all of which share the same belief in building strong local ties and brand loyalty with their customers.
