IBT and Meijer Extend Partnership

IBT Enterprises LLC, Norcross, Ga., has extended its partnership with Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Meijer Inc. to serve as its exclusive source for identifying financial institutions for in-store retail locations. Originally formed in May 2005, the partnership provides IBT exclusive rights to market, design

and construct in-store retail space for financial service providers seeking to co-locate inside Meijer stores. The new accord extends the agreement an additional 18 months through September 2007. "Our partnership with Meijer has been very successful for all involved," said Tom Tucker, executive vice president of sales and marketing for IBT. "Progressive retailers have benefitted from attracting a new segment of consumers to their stores while improving the experience of existing shoppers." In addition to Meijer's own credit union throughout its 176 stores, the grocery and general merchandise supercenter features in-store financial facilities operated by Flagstar Bank, Chase Bank, Consumers Credit, Team One Credit Union and CASE Credit Union.
