Meijer Pension Plan was established in 1973 to provide retirement benefits to employees of Meijer, Inc. The plan remains noncontributory and defined-benefit in form. Hank Meijer, Doug Meijer, and Mark Meijer hold board roles at the parent retailer. The plan holds no disclosed external fund commitments or named co-investors. Its listed strategies span buyout, venture, and distressed debt, yet no portfolio companies or geographic allocations beyond the Midwest appear in primary records. Real assets tied to Meijer, Inc. include distribution centers in Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin plus the corporate headquarters in Grand Rapids. The plan reports 834 million dollars under management. No additional offices or professional headcount figures are available. Adjacent vehicles include The Meijer Foundation, established in 1990, and the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. In 2024 the firm acquired the Former Christian Reformed Church HQ in Grand Rapids for mixed-use redevelopment. Ownership of the plan sits with Meijer, Inc. rather than a separate family office entity. Governance flows through the retailer board and named family principals without disclosed succession vehicles or external LP mandates.
