Mervyns 英文介绍
Since 1949, Mervyns has delivered the right
balance of style, quality, and value for
families. We do this by focusing our merchandise
so that it's just what you want in your closet
and home, allowing you more time to get to what
really matters to you: your family. Our goal has
been and continues to be to satisfy our
customers' expectations better than the
competition by offering style, quality,
excellent service, all at a good price.
our heritage
Our founder, Mervin Morris, knew he was on to
something upon opening our first store in San
Lorenzo, California in 1949. This little family
store was an instant success and today has been
attributed to inventing the mid-range department
store. In fact, Mervin Morris had achieved a
number of firsts. Mervyns was the first to offer
customers revolving credit, advertise sales in
the newspaper, and the first to focus on young
families.
our stores
Mervyns now operates 189 stores in 10 states,
providing a great mix of top national brands and
exclusive house brands that our loyal customers
have come to love. Mervyns stores have an
average of 50,000 retail square feet, smaller
than most other mid-tier retailers and easier to
shop, and are located primarily in regional
malls, community shopping centers, and
freestanding sites. Find a store in your
neighborhood.
community relations
mervyns in the community

focus, community giving has been a cornerstone
of the business since 1949. Read more about our
community involvement
mervyns in the community
With a 56-year-old tradition of being a good
neighbor, we continue to support a number of
initiatives and encourage our associates to
volunteer in the communities throughout our
10-state region. Our mission is to improve the
lives of children and families, and we do that
through the following:
ChildSpreeSM
Every year, each Mervyns store partners with
nonprofit organizations, school partners and
youth assistance programs to provide children
with a $100 shopping allowance to purchase
brand-new school clothes and shoes in our
stores. Mervyns’ associates are proud to
volunteer at this traditional annual event,
which has helped thousands of kids go back to
school with new clothes, supplies and the
confidence they need to succeed. Since 1992,
ChildSpree has donated $18 million and served
more than 180,000 children.
Sprockets ? Dog Plush
Making its debut at Mervyns in 2005, Sprockets
Dog plush is the first of an on-going series of
exclusive, cause-related product. One hundred
percent of the net profits from sales of the
plush will benefit Mervyns’ ChildSpree by
providing more shopping sprees to economically
disadvantaged children.
volunteerism
Walking to raise awareness about breast cancer,
collecting gifts for deserving families during
the holidays, undertaking community
beautification projects and delighting children
as guest story time readers are just a few of
the ways Mervyns’ volunteers are making a
difference within our communities. In addition,
Mervyns’ associates joined together to make an
impact by raising more than $225,000 for the
American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer Walk and March of Dimes’
WalkAmerica.
Mervyns’ volunteers are generous with their time
and enjoy making a difference in their schools,
libraries and communities. In addition, our
associates also provided support to the tsunami
and hurricane disaster relief efforts with
financial contributions totaling nearly $300,000
when combined with company-matched donations and
grants. Through Mervyns’ Workplace Giving
Campaign, associates have an opportunity to make
personal donations to their selected nonprofit
organization, such as the American Cancer
Society, March of Dimes and United Way.
Grants
With the focus of helping students succeed in
school, Mervyns gives a limited number of grants
to schools and nonprofit organizations to
support programs that supplement the classroom
curriculum. Programs that we have funded in the
past include music and art programs, homework
centers, mentoring programs and summer reading
programs. All charitable requests, donations or
sponsorship requests should be sent to:
