Fred Meyer, Inc., is a chain of superstores founded in 1922 in Portland, Oregon, by Fred G. Meyer. Not to be confused with Frederik Gerhard Hendrik Meijer, former chairman of the Meijer superstore chain, which is based in Michigan, with stores in the Midwest and currently part of Kroger Inc. after their merger. The company was one of the pioneers of one-stop shopping, eventually combining a complete grocery supermarket with a drugstore, clothing, shoes, fine jewelers, home decor, home improvement, garden, electronics, toys, sporting goods, and more under one roof. - Source: Wikipedia
