Fred Meyer

Fred Meyer, Inc. is a chain of hypermarkets founded in 1922 in Portland, Oregon by Fred G. Meyer. The company was one of the pioneers of one-stop shopping, eventually combining a complete grocery supermarket with a drugstore, clothing store, shoe store, fine jewelers, home decor store, home improvement center, garden center, electronics store, toy store, sporting goods store and more under one roof.

Fred Meyer stores are throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Alaska. Prior to the company's merger with Kroger in 1999, it traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol FMY. Although the company is now a division of Kroger, the stores are still branded Fred Meyer and the western region of Kroger is headquartered in Portland.

Fred Meyer is sometimes known as "Freddy’s", a nickname the company was given by its customers and which is used in its advertising. For a number of years the company has used the marketing slogan What's on your list today? You'll find it at Fred Meyer! or more simply What's on your list today? in advertising.
