It is important to be involved in what is happening in the gasoline and convenience store industry. MIRA is always on the cutting edge of what is going on, as well as the issues that arrive daily.”

“It’s important to promote MIRA because it is such a wonderful organization for people in our industry to become a part of so they can receive all the benefits that are available to them.”

MIRA is very instrumental in trying to partner with vendors in trying to get better protection on pricing in as many ways as they can.

It’s very important to be part of the industry you serve. MIRA is an important organization and being part of a great team gives us the voice to fight for what we believe in and the power to know we are being treated fairly.”

“Unity is our strength, and the more members we have, the stronger we become.

Frank Ayar
Walter's Shopping Place, Hamtramck MI
MIRA has a large impact on the industry and on my family business. Having input on decision making in Lansing and Washington is essential. We need to be a strong voice of the industry to survive.

Thomas Welch
Hollywood Super Markets, Troy MI
We get better deals thanks to MIRA. We get the rebates with the coupons, and we can send them directly to them instead of sending to each manufacturer. It’s easy to send them to one place, and that is it. That really helps us save a lot of time. They also help us with the Dairymens Milk Company, and we get the special price, too. That is very nice.

We always call MIRA with whatever problems we may have and they always solve it. They work very hard. They always call me and let me know what’s going on and what changes are coming, so it’s very helpful.
