As we prepare for the road ahead, we are excited to announce another new program to support Ohio’s small businesses and workforce. JobsOhio, Peoples Bank and First Federal/Home Savings Bank announced a partnership to support existing small business clients with maintaining operations and payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. JobsOhio has committed up to $50 million to assist Peoples Bank and recently merged First Federal Bank and Home Savings Bank – with providing lending support to companies negatively affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

We also commend the work of Treasurer Sprague who is executing negotiated demand deposits with approved Ohio public depository institutions to expand balance sheet liquidity and make investments for the Ohio Treasury. The application form for a negotiated demand deposit can be downloaded at ohiotreasurer.gov/Financial_Institutions and submitted to deposits@tos.ohio.gov.

JobsOhio’s most recent Economic Impact Report, prepared by our research team, is available now at this page. You will also find up to date information for businesses and other stakeholders. Remember, we are in this together. #InThisTogetherOhio

MIRA is really good about mailing us promotional posters and other helpful information. The coupon redemption program has been especially good for our stores.

Jim WallJohnson Oil, Gaylord MI

According to MIRA we are their biggest member on the Dairymens rebate program. The coupon program is also a big help to us, and the rebate for a preferred wholesaler company makes a big difference to us because, as a small independent store competing with other chains, it puts us on the same level playing field.

This industry is in my blood, and I want to serve it to give back what it has brought me.”

“I learned the business from others who were successful and being on the board gives me a chance to communicate how to better serve the industry—as well as make more money—to those who don’t yet know how. It’s important to hand our knowledge over to those who are new or are taking over a family business. We need to ask them what their most important issues are and help them understand the return on investment they can realize through MIRA’s programs, which save them money through better group pricing on everything they buy and all of their business expenses.” “If people know what MIRA is fighting for, they will want to be part of it. And if we work together, we can raise our industry to the next level.

There is strength in numbers, and the more members MIRA has, the more we can get accomplished.

Najib AtishaIndian Village Market, Detroit MI

This is my industry and MIRA serves this industry. I like being part of a successful organization and being involved in change and influencing new laws.”

“Without MIRA, who will fight for the retailer in Michigan and Ohio? MIRA is the voice for all retailers, and more numbers means a stronger voice. If more of us support MIRA and keep it successful, we will be able to fight more effectively.

John Denha8 Mile Foodland, Southfield MI

As a member, we receive better prices on wholesale pricing. MIRA allows me to buy more and sell more product every quarter. I also receive a rebate check from MIRA each quarter.
