I encourage MIRA members to aggressively promote membership to make a greater impact on local and national political leaders. With more PAC money, we can achieve more favorable legislation for our members.

As MIRA gains more members, we become stronger, and this results in more legislators listening to our voice regarding issues that affect our businesses.

Since we had our stores in Detroit, it was the thing to do. All store owners understood the value MIRA brought for a grocery store. Today at Market Basket of Franklin, the Nestle rebate program is great for us. Also, the DTE program is our best saver – we receive free pull-down shields to cover our dairy and produce – it, has helped our refrigeration and, has allowed us to save money on electricity costs.

I don’t think people take enough advantage of the new programs MIRA offers. The organization is all about the people now, which is different than it was many years ago.

My dad has been a member of MIRA for a very long time. All of his stores are members, and it’s a great organization. I feel its programs will be very helpful to its members as the organization keeps growing.

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.
