Byerly's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Byerly's is an up-scale supermarket located in Minnesota around the Twin Cites area.
Byerly's was founded in 1968 by Don Byerly, who opened the first store in Golden Valley, Minnesota that same year. Byerly's has since opened ten other stores in and around the metro area.
The Byerly's stores, which range in size from approximately 50,000 to 90,000 square feet, are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Byerly's stores also have additional offerings such as in-store United States Post Offices, full-service banks, pharmaceuticals (Prairie Stone pharmacies) coffee shops, floral departments and Wines & Spirits Shops which are all available to Byerly's customers. And each Byerly's store promises customers that they will not need to touch their groceries from the time they enter the check-out lane until they arrive home. Byerly's will unload the customer's cart, package the groceries and place them in the customer's vehicle at the covered parcel pickup area. Additionally, many Byerly's Locations offer online shopping through lundsandbyerlys.com - offering pre-shopped pick-up and home delivery options for $4.99 and $9.99 respectively.
In April of 1997, the company was purchased by Lund Food Holdings, Inc., a parent company of the well-respected Minneapolis-based Lunds.
