A Legacy of Service
Miner’s Inc. began its journey in 1943 as a tavern in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, run by Tony and Ida Miner. Tony’s keen observation of his customers' needs—bread and milk after hours—planted the seeds for the grocery business. By adding essential grocery items to the tavern, the Miners created a legacy of exceptional customer service that thrives today.

As an employer of over 3,000 individuals, the company offers a range of career paths backed by professional development, promotion opportunities, and employee recognition programs.
