Heilig-Meyers was a furniture store that was founded in 1913 by two Dutch immigrants who named the store after their surnames (Heilig and Meyers). Their headquarters were in Richmond, Virginia, and the store became the largest furniture retailer in United States of America by the 1980s. Heilig-Meyers filed for bankruptcy in August 2000 because of their failure to make debt payments. It was also the main sponsor for Bobby Hillin, Jr., Dick Trickle and Mike Wallace during their NASCAR careers at one point in time.
