Bi-Mart is an employee-owned chain of retailers located in the U.S. states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.^[1] The company describes itself as taking a deep discount approach to merchandising brand name goods, striving to offer a wide selection of top quality merchandise at low everyday prices. A typical Bi-Mart houses a wide selection of merchandise including electronics and small appliances, housewares, hardware and power tools, sporting and hunting supplies, apparel, canned and packaged food, personal care products, a drugstore and pharmacy. An average Bi-Mart is approximately 31,000 square feet (2,900 m²),^[2] a fraction of the typical 107,000 square feet (9,900 m²) WalMart^[3] that offers similar product diversity but greater depth.

The company was founded in 1955 and is headquartered in Eugene, Oregon. As of early 2011, there are 73 store locations.^[4] Bi-Mart's first store opened in Yakima, Washington in 1955 and did not open a second store until 1962. In 1976, Bi-Mart was bought by Pay 'n Save which itself was acquired by Thrifty Corporation in 1984. It was subsequently merged into the former Kmart subsidiary PayLess Drug, and finally purchased by Rite Aid in 1996.

In 1997, Bi-Mart's management and Endeavour Capital (a Portland-based venture capital firm) bought the company;^[5] they sold it to employees March 1, 2004, for $94 million, which included $12.5 million contributed from the 401(k) plan. Bi-Mart is the sole surviving store name of former Pay 'n Savesubsidiaries. (Schucks Auto Supply retained its name until acquired by OReilly and rebranded in 2010.)

In October 2003, Bi-Mart announced it was expanding eastward. Eight stores were planned with the first store in Havre, Montana. The second store opened three years later in Weiser, Idaho. In 2006, Bi-Mart exited the Montana market due to poor sales.

As of December 2004, the company projects sales for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2005, of $650 million, compared with $621 million for the previous year.

Like Costco and Sam's Club, Bi-Mart stores are membership stores; unlike those chains, its members-only policy started as a workaround to fair trade lawsestablished in the United States in the 1930s by laws such as the Miller-Tydings Act and those related to suggested retail prices.
