Meijer beats Target, Wal-Mart and Best Buy for Black Friday deals in national survey | MLive.com
WALKER, MI — Midwest retailer Meijer is showing it can hold its own against national retailers when it comes to Black Friday deals.
The Walker-based retailer, with 213 stores in a five state footprint, came in fourth on the list of best retailers in an analysis of Black Friday ads by WalletHub.
The personal finance social network said the results are based on a survey of 5,525 deals from the 2014 Black Friday ad scans of 22 of the biggest U.S. retailers. 
The results show which retailer has the deepest discounts by category. 
What it doesn't capture are which retailers that have the lowest price on one hot item like a 50-inch TV or a Xbox bundle.
Meijer has an average discount of 52 percent. 
Topping the list was department store chain JCPenney with an average discount of 65 percent followed by Macy’s and Rite Aid with discounts of 54 and 53 percent, respectively.
