General Information
Hours of Operation
The Meijer Store in which the Licensed Premises is located is open 24 hour a day, 7 days a week
operation (with the exception of closing at 7pm on Christmas Eve and all day Christmas Day). All
Licensees are required to follow the Business Hours per section 5.3 of the License Agreement.
The Meijer Team
The store is run by a Store Director (or a Store Director in Charge) who is your greatest resource for any
questions, comments or concerns about the store you are in. The Store Director is supported by a Retail
Administrative Assistant (RAA). We highly recommend regular communication between the Store
Director and Licensees to build strong working relationships. At any time, your store director (or store
director in charge) can be reached at extension “611” from any Meijer phone.
Sexual Harassment
Meijer has strong policies against sexual harassment. If a licensee employee feels that someone has
said or done something that was inappropriate, please advise the Store Director immediately. And
inversely, the licensee and its employees must take care to watch what they say or do or they will be
reported to the Store Director and proper action will be taken.
Smoking
Smoking is not permitted in or around the Meijer store. Smoking breaks are only allowed outside in your
car or at designated smoking shelters (where applicable); never in front of the store, near store doors, or
elsewhere inside the Meijer store. In Ohio, state law does not allow smoking anywhere on the property.
The smoking policy is strictly enforced.
Emergencies
It is appropriate to dial 911 from the phone in your space if an emergency arises. If time permits, please
notify your store director who can help assist with any emergency vehicles, etc.
Dignity and Respect
Meijer holds strong to the principles of Dignity and Respect in that all Meijer Team Members and
Customers are treated the same, to the best of your ability. Meijer expects that all Licensees will uphold
this principle as well.
Customer Complaints and Feedback
Any customer complaints or feedback received by Meijer will be forwarded to the Licensee for
resolution in a diligent and timely manner where applicable.
2
No Solicitation Policy
While encouraging the success of Licensees, please keep in mind that Meijer has a very strong NonSolicitation Policy. Solicitation of Meijer customers or employees outside of the area 2-3 feet in front of
the Licensed Premises is prohibited unless Meijer in its sole discretion allows specific and defined
promotional activities. Such prohibition shall include but not be limited to: the parking lot (materials
distributed on cars), the greeter stands (flyers), the aisles of the Meijer Store (any marketing) and
Meijer employee areas (promotional materials in break room).
Storage
All items must remain within the Licensed Premises. Additional storage space within the Meijer store is
not permitted.
Appearance
Licensee is expected to maintain a professional appearance when operating the Licensed Premises.
Name badges or company logo is recommended and is required when entering non-customer areas of
the Meijer store.
Loss Prevention
Meijer takes security and safety very seriously with Zero Tolerance for theft. Please note that all
merchandise must be purchased through the check lane prior to entering a Licensed Premises. Licensee
may not take and hold things in the space to ‘pay for later’. Meijer maintains that the best policy is to
purchase the merchandise and take it directly to your car. If anything is kept at the space, you must
keep and tape your receipts directly to the item.
Parking
In order to provide the best spaces for all of our customers, the Licensee must adhere to the Meijer
parking rules which requires that the Licensee and all employees park their vehicles in the Meijer Team
Member designated area. The Store Director will be able to direct you to the appropriate area.
Break Rooms and Conference Areas
These areas are for Meijer Team Members only. Meijer does provide café seating areas in many stores
for your use.

Licensee Build-out/Construction Process
Step 1: Initial Documentation
A preliminary submittal including the proposed layout of the Licensed Premises, a scope of work and
detailed cost is required after signing and returning the license agreement along with the security
deposit.
Any plans and specifications (including drawings showing the dimensions of the Licensed Premises and

board will be retained by Meijer for verification of compliance with the approved interior finish
materials.
Step 3: Approval Memo
Meijer will provide approval and/or comments via emailed. Please allow approximately two (2) weeks
for review. Licensee may be required to resubmit plans if changes or additions are required or if the
plans/cost estimates do not fully address the scope of work.
NOTE: Meijer approval does not equal municipal approval. Licensee must, at its sole
cost, obtain any necessary municipal/governmental approvals and/or permits. In
addition, some municipalities require that drawings be signed and sealed by an
architect/engineer in order to obtain a building permit. Meijer approval does not
constitute a representation that plans meet engineering or design standards.
Step 4: Insurance
Licensee shall not take possession of the Licensed Premises until insurance certificates specified in the
License Agreement is provided.
Step 5: Payment of Construction Security Deposit
Licensee shall not take possession of the Licensed Premises until any required Security Deposit and/or
the Construction Security Deposit have been provided and approved by Meijer. Please see Section 5.5 of
your agreement for additional information.
Step 6: Pre-construction Meeting
The Approval Memo will include contact information and instructions for Licensee to coordinate a PreConstruction meeting with the Meijer Construction Coordinator (please allow approximately ten (10)
5
days lead time for scheduling). At the Pre-Construction Meeting, a copy of your construction schedule,
your contractors’ insurance certificate and permit(s) must be in hand and will be reviewed with the
Meijer Construction Coordinator along with the Meijer Code of Conduct and scope of the project. Those
required to be in attendance are the Licensee, the general contractor and the Meijer Store Director. Only
after the Pre-Construction Meeting is held will Licensee be authorized to start construction. The Meijer
Construction Coordinator will be the Licensee’s main contact for construction until ready for the
Preopening Walkthrough with the Meijer Tenant Coordinator.
Step 7: Licensee Signage
Licensee is required to install a concourse sign above the Licensed Premises which must be reviewed
and approved by Meijer. Meijer will provide concourse sign specifications, as well as an electronic form
on which to submit your sign proposal. Final approval will be provided by Meijer via email. Note:
Fabrication of signage can take several weeks depending on the company and materials required - it is
advised to allow at least one (1) week for approval by Meijer and two (2) weeks for fabrication by your
chosen company. Please see Exhibit C for specifications and an example of a fully completed request
form.
Step 8: Pre-Opening Walkthrough and Checklist.
Two (2) weeks prior to completion of construction, Licensee must notify the Meijer Tenant Coordinator
of progress and schedule a Pre-Opening Walkthrough. The Licensed Premises (including signage) must
be fully completed and concourse signage installed prior to the Pre-Opening Walkthrough. Barring any
issues or tasks that need to be resolved, permission for Licensee to open for business will be granted at
the end of the Pre-Opening Walkthrough.
Step 9: Construction Security Deposit Return
Following the completion of all construction and construction related activities, the Licensee will provide
the Certification form in Exhibit D along with original Full Unconditional Lien Waivers for each general
contractor (which should state the full amount the general contractor was paid for the project),
subcontractor and signage company related to the project to Meijer. If no other information is required,
the construction security deposit will be returned.

Satellite Dish and Mounting Information
For any Licensee desiring to install a satellite dish system on the roof of a Meijer Store, the existing
license agreement must first be amended to reflect the installation and use of a satellite dish. Before
any work begins on the installation of the satellite dish, the following must be submitted to Meijer Real
Estate for review and approval.
1. Information on the satellite dish and the non-penetrating roof mounting system including the
total weight of the satellite dish and mounting system (with ballast), size of the base of the nonpenetrating roof mounting system, the distributed loading in pounds per square foot,
information on the slip sheet, and a picture of the proposed unit
2. Sketch showing where the satellite dish is proposed to be located, where and how the coaxial
cable is proposed to enter the building, and the proposed routing of the coaxial cable inside the
building.
After approval, Meijer will provide an amendment to be signed by both parties prior to the contractor
obtaining any needed local permits. Once all approvals, contracts, and permits are granted the
equipment may be installed. The party desiring the installation and use of the satellite dish system is
responsible for obtaining any necessary governmental approvals.
The installer of the satellite dish system should visit the site before providing a proposal to the party
desiring the satellite dish system. The site visit should be coordinated through the Store Director.
The satellite dish should utilize a non-penetrating roof mounting system. A slip sheet should be placed
between the roof and the non-penetrating roof mount. The slip sheet should be of material similar to
the roofing membrane. The satellite dish should be placed over a beam or joist and in a location that is
not viewable from the ground, does not obstruct the sight line of any existing dishes, nor hinder the
operation or maintenance of existing equipment located on the roof.
The coaxial cable should enter the building through existing points of entry, such as where the coaxial
cable from the existing Meijer satellite dish enters the building or where the cables from the existing
Meijer CCTV cameras enter the building. However, in order for the existing entry points to be utilized,
the existing entry point should contain a weather head or 180 degree bend in the conduit to facilitate a
drip loop. The existing entry points should not be used without a weather head or 180 degree conduit
bend for a drip loop. Other existing roof penetrations may be used if determined to be acceptable by
Meijer Property Management and Services. Wherever the cable enters the building, the entry point will
need to be properly sealed. Once inside the building, the coaxial cable should be routed along and tied
to the top side of the bottom chord of the joists.
If a new roof penetration is required for the coaxial cable then a Meijer approved roofing contractor for
that specific store will need to be utilized in order to keep the roof warranty in place. The need for a
Meijer approved contractor also extends to any cutting, repairing, or patching of the roof. The conduit
for the new roof penetration should extend 14 inches above the roof and be attached to the building
steel below the roof deck. New roof penetrations will need to be properly sealed and use an approved
weather head.
