Resurging Life in the Meijer’s Chain

Meijer’s, Inc. was founded in 1934 and is acknowledged as a pioneer and the first in establishing a supermarket chain. In the year of 1962, the concept of supercenter was born and created as his dream child. Approximately 200 stores exist today and the need to support Meijer’s is tantamount in its importance because of the locality and populace it serves that needs the existence of these stores because they live far out and near.

The purpose of this entreaty is to save Meijer’s for it was the first conglomerate supermarket to hire African Americans. No nepotism was ever allowed in this chain whatsoever with all family members being trained from the floor up. To me this is America and I will stand with you (Meijer’s) and Sears forever for you took a dream and made it sublime surreal from nothing and that is what I want to do is be you one day.

I feel a more welcoming approach is needed in coming in. Open spaces mean come in and partially blocked sections give a double meaning that you are welcome on a conditional basis. The stores need to be revamped as inexpensively as possible with bigger signs telling where everything is and a map with large letters for sight identification ( use printer shops that can cut cost as well as advertisers – look for competitive prices for printing jobs – sales paper, etc.).

Bigger sales advertisements for those with vision problems and also shift around men’s department for a more open look when customers come in for we cater to men first for they are the breadwinner then the beautiful wives, daughters and girlfriends whether they are physically so or not you are all beautiful.

Change department to be more open in the women’s department per season as weather changes put clearance in back. Also, add a dollar section for those who have limited income.

We want to be like the company Old Dominion known for their slogan “Helping the World Keep Promises” for we are Meijer’s and Sears and we stand for ourselves, employees, merchandise and the American Way. We are here and we agree with you for a promise is our blood.

Let’s keep Meijer busy … My family have been going to Meijer’s since they opened here in Saginaw.

Hang in tough!

Thank you.

Good Luck!
