The programs they have right now with the rebates and the different things you can get from many vendors help us out a lot. We’re getting rebates from Sherwood, D&B Grocers, and others; there’s quite a few companies we are getting rebates from that we never did before, and we’re dealing with them now because of the rebates.

MIRA is a good organization, very community focused,” “The biggest benefit is the government relations interface. They lobby for all of us and work for our rights on issues like federal and state taxes,” “MIRA was behind the initiative to spread food stamps out across the month, which has been very helpful, and they are working hard on the bottle recycling issue, which is painful and expensive for retailers to maintain. We couldn’t do it alone.

We were able to pick up some stores at the MIRA show in April, and it’s just a good thing to be out there with people who are related to our business and for the people to get more familiar with our brand. MIRA has been a great help to market our brand.

We would like to continue to grow with MIRA. I can’t imagine any business not needing a sign, and MIRA represents businesses. They are an amazing organization and they’re good to work with.

The community needs people with retail experience who can bring good ideas forward and keep retailers apprised of what’s going on in the marketplace.”

“More members will make us stronger as a group. That will increase our buying power to offer more discounts and will give us a stronger voice in Lansing, Columbus, and Washington.”

“MIRA membership comes at a minimal cost for benefits that can help your business achieve greater goals.
