A chain of hypermarkets operating in the Pacific Northwest and the state of Alaska, Fred Meyer was founded upon humble beginnings in 1922 by Fred G. Meyer in Portland, Oregon. A pioneer of the one-stop shop concept, where buyers could find varied goods under one roof, Fred Meyer has operated many such stores in the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska.
