I also did a search on a library database that includes the
publication "Supermarket News." Here is an excerpt from a 1998
article about Grimm:
"He was president and chief executive officer of Pace Membership
Warehouse, Denver, a one-time subsidiary of Kmart Corp., Troy, Mich.,
before it was acquired by Wal-Mart in 1994.
Before joining Pace, Grimm was president and chief executive officer
of Price Savers Wholesale Warehouse, Salt Lake City. He was one of
Price Savers' founders in 1982 and helped build the company's sales to
$1 billion in 1991, when Pace acquired the company. Earlier in his
career Grimm held senior merchandising and marketing positions with
Grand Central Stores, Salt Lake City; the Medi Mart drug store
division of Stop & Shop Cos., Boston; Cunningham Drug Stores, Detroit,
and Venture Stores, St. Louis. Grimm began his retail career in 1969
as a buyer for Target Stores, Minneapolis. "
