What Myers Group does

The Myers Group is a family-founded retail management and operating company headquartered in the Pacific Northwest, established in 1978. The company directly operates a diversified portfolio of consumer-facing retail businesses across Washington, Oregon, and Alaska, consisting of 6 IGA supermarkets (Haggen banner), 7 Hero ACE Hardware stores, 3 Chevron-branded fuel stations, and 2 restaurants. With 600+ employees and reported turnover below 10%, the company presents as a stable, multi-format regional operator with deep institutional knowledge and a 45-year operating track record.

Beyond owned retail operations, The Myers Group operates two adjacent service lines. Its Management Services business delivers operational support to retiring owners and business owners without succession plans, including a stated banking relationship with Banner Bank, effectively monetizing the company's operational expertise for third parties. Its Real Estate Development Services business develops multi-family housing and build-to-rent communities, extending the company into property development. Leadership is family-controlled, with Tyler Myers serving as President & CEO, and the company has earned multiple IGA recognition awards (1999, 2010, 2016) for operational excellence in independent grocery.

Revenue is generated through grocery retail, hardware retail, fuel retail, restaurant operations, management services fees, and real estate development activity. The company is privately held under family ownership with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or public revenue figures. There is no evidence of proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or digital platform products in the input.

Core offering

The Myers Group operates a multi-format retail portfolio spanning IGA-branded supermarkets, Hero ACE Hardware stores, Chevron service stations, and restaurants across Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. In parallel, the company sells B2B Management Services (a la carte support such as payroll, bookkeeping, POS pricing, HR, IT, and merchandising through full turnkey operation) and B2B Real Estate Development Services (site selection, building cost analysis, construction, project management, and property management) primarily for grocery, hardware, and fuel-industry clients.

Product overview

The Myers Group is a multi-brand retail management and real estate company (not a unified software platform) operating a portfolio of grocery supermarkets under the IGA banner (North Albany IGA, Camano Plaza IGA, Foodland IGA, Super Bear IGA, Ocean Shores IGA, Darrington IGA, Goose Community Grocer), ACE Hardware stores under the Hero ACE Hardware banner, Chevron service stations (Short Stop Chevron, Camano Plaza Chevron, DeHarts Auke Bay Store), and restaurants (Pub 282, Aurora Borealis). Alongside its own retail operations, the company sells two core service offerings: (1) Management Services — outsourced a la carte and full turnkey management for clients (payroll, bookkeeping, POS support, HR, IT, merchandising, procurement, turnaround), and (2) Real Estate Development Services — site selection, construction, project, and property management for grocery, hardware, and fuel projects. Together, these retail brands and service lines form an integrated brick-and-mortar retail management business rather than a software product suite.
