Bi-Mart

Bi-Mart is a well-established retail chain headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, serving the Pacific Northwest with a focus on community-oriented shopping. Founded in 1955, Bi-Mart started with a single store in Yakima, Washington, and quickly became known for its value-driven approach. Through the 1960s and 1970s, the company expanded its reach across Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. As of November 2025, Bi-Mart operates around 80 stores, primarily in Oregon, with additional locations in Washington and Idaho.

Bi-Mart's stores are typically located in small to mid-sized towns, offering a convenient, one-stop shopping experience. Customers can find a wide range of products, including household goods, groceries, sporting goods, and hardware. Although the company has exited the pharmacy business in Washington, it continues to invest in its core markets in Oregon and Idaho, optimizing existing locations rather than pursuing aggressive new store growth.

The retailer operates on a membership model, requiring a nominal lifetime fee, which has helped build strong customer loyalty and a sense of community ownership. Known for its straightforward, no-frills store format, Bi-Mart fills a niche in markets that are often underserved by larger national chains. By focusing on convenience, value, and a product mix tailored to regional preferences, Bi-Mart has remained resilient amid industry changes and competition from big-box retailers.

Bi-Mart remains an independent company, prioritizing steady, organic growth. Its established regional presence and loyal customer base make it a reliable anchor tenant in secondary and tertiary markets throughout the Pacific Northwest.
