H ank Meijer is an American billionaire heir to the Meijer supercenter fortune. He is the son of the late Frederik Meijer, who built the company into a retail giant, and the grandson of Hendrik Meijer, a Dutch immigrant who founded the business as a single grocery store in Greenville, Michigan, in 1934. Hank and his brother, Doug, now co-chair the privately held company.

Frederik Meijer was a pioneer of the supercenter concept, combining a full-service grocery store with a department store under one roof. Hank and Doug inherited the multi-billion dollar company and have continued to lead its expansion across the American Midwest. Hank has served as the company's CEO and is now the executive chairman, serving as the more public face of the family's leadership. He is also an author, having written a biography of his father. The family is also a major philanthropic force in Michigan.
