Meijer began in In 1934 when a modest local barber in Greenville, Michigan had a need and saw an opportunity. It was the middle of the Great Depression and groceries were scarce. In an effort to take care of the customers who visited his barbershop, Hendrik Meijer purchased $328.76 worth of merchandise on credit. Together with his 14-year-old son, Fred, they opened North Side Grocery.

Since then, Meijer has always been a leader in finding and using new technology, this included everything from the introduction of checkout scanners in the 1970's to the decision to open 24 hours in the 1980's to the launch of Meijer.com in the 1990's. Meijer is always continuing to develop newer and more innovative ways to serve customers.

Their commitment to innovation and taking care of customers has led to continued growth throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. 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—meeting the needs of customers, team members and communities.

Welcome SONIC^® to the Knowledge Infusion Family!

SONIC^®, America's Drive-In^® (NASDAQ: SONC) is the nation's largest chain of drive-in restaurants. SONIC started as a hamburger and root beer stand in 1953 in Shawnee, Okla., called Top Hat Drive-In, and then changed its name to SONIC in 1959. The first drive-in to adopt the SONIC name is still serving customers in Stillwater, Okla. More than a million customers eat at SONIC every day.

In the 1950s, SONIC's unique use of curbside speakers to allow customers to place food orders without ever leaving their cars, spawned the slogan "SONIC, Service with the Speed of Sound." In recent years, that slogan has been replaced with "SONIC^®, America's Drive-In.^®"  SONIC has over 3500 drive-ins across the nation.

Our CEO is at the SONIC corporate headquarters today, and enjoyed a meeting in the SuperSONIC Breakfast Burrito conference room, as well as a special I LOVE TOTS celebration where corporate employees were served up the popular tots.
