They are pretty nice. Think clean Walmart with better organization and isles you can walk through with a cart. Great produce section.

Also, if you're ever in Grand Rapids, MI, they have an incredible sculpture garden. World renown.

The Meijer Gardens also have great displays in several buildings for the Christmas season.

One of my favorites there is The American Horse.

The American Horse

A monument to creativity, The American Horse was created by famed animalier, or animal sculptor, Nina Akamu. The work is inspired in part by a work created by Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci for the Duke of Milan, in the late 15th century. Fred Meijer championed the project in the late 1990s,…

I visited one many, many years ago (late 80s/early 90s?), somewhere in Ohio or Indiana. Not sure why I was in the area...business trip maybe? At the time was not familiar with the whole "supercenter" thing...Walmart hadn't expanded into New England at the time (and not all their stores are supercenters)...this was like nothing else I'd ever seen. The store I visited had 100 checkout registers! Maybe 15 of them were open, but it still made quite the impression.

You have some interesting store chains in the midwest.

What a sheltered life you've led in Iowa.

Add me, never heard of them either. What can you buy in there that you can't buy anywhere else?

Peace of mind, less aggravation, less fear of cooties.

Peace of mind cannot be bought.

Less aggravation cannot be bought.

Cooties can most certainly be bought.

BigTiller and I are happy that you guys are happy. We don't need more stores here in God's Country.

Same, here. I've only heard of those stores on TBN

I'd like to find that out myself, that is, if it could be bought. I'll be your test rat, send me lots and lots of money. I don't worry about some big store cause they put those where people are at, so.....

Your last sentence describes me perfectly.

They also have a great summer series concert program. Sorta like Red Rocks, only smaller with a lot less walking!
