    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.

  • 3

    No Solicitation Policy

    While encouraging the success of Licensees, please keep in mind that Meijer has a very strong Non-Solicitation 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 caf 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

    any architectural or mechanical drawings) provided by Meijer to Licensee are provided without

    representation or warranty as to their accuracy, content or completeness.

    Licensee is responsible for field verifying the accuracy of the information provided.

    Step 2: Submittal of Construction Documents

    A complete submittal includes architectural drawings, one color board and copies of each contractors

    actual cost estimates/bid/proposal (i.e. architectural/design, general contractor, electrician, plumber,

    mechanical contractor, signage company, etc.). See Exhibit A for examples.

    Required Architectural Drawings/Specifications:

    Meijer requires that each drawing listed below be sealed/stamped by an engineer of record. Please indicate N/A on the submittal coversheet if no changes are contemplated for a specific category noted below. Both existing and proposed plans must be submitted for each. Further engineering specifications by Meijer are included in Exhibit B.

    Demolition Plan

    Floor Plan or Layout - include any demolition or construction of walls (noting height)

    Storefront Elevation - construction of storefront. Gates of any kind are not permitted. Any enclosing storefront must be constructed of tempered glass and anodized aluminum.

    Reflected Ceiling Plan

    Floor Finish Plan - adjusting existing or adding new floor covering

    Detail Sheet - door and hardware schedule

    HVAC Plan - adding or modifying any ductwork, air balancing, adding diffusers or intakes. Note: All hair and nail salons as well as any business that may emit odors must have a tempered glass and anodized aluminum storefront with an exhaust fan to adequately remove fumes from the Licensed Premises [and Meijer Store to the satisfaction of Meijer] ***See section 5.7b of the license agreement for addition information regarding proposed work on the Entire Premises

    Plumbing Plan - modifying/adding plumbing. Licensee may only tie into the Meijer cold water line. If hot water is needed, a separate water heater or instant tankless system must be supplied.

    Fire Protection Plan modifying/adding sprinkler system, alarm system, etc. ***See section 5.7b of the license agreement for addition information regarding proposed work on the Entire Premises

  • 5

    o The E.C shall subcontract all materials, wiring and installation of a security system to: Engineered Protection Systems, Inc.; 750 Front Street NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49504; Phone: 616-459-0281; Attention: John Mueller

    paneling, floor tile, carpet, vinyl base & molding, etc. A distinctive design should be utilized to

    reflect your unique business (plain white walls and a counter are not adequate). Note: the color

    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 Pre-

    Construction meeting with the Meijer Construction Coordinator (please allow approximately ten (10)

  • 6

    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 Licensees 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 non-

    penetrating 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.
