MIRA membership continues to be valuable as a way to stay in tune with the needs of our customers. My father’s big thing was ‘always take care of the customer.’ Membership in a strong association is important because of the strength in numbers it offers to its members.

I feel that the MIRA organization is a great way to bring together people in the industry for exchanges of ideas and concepts, and it’s a great way to meet people through MIRA’s various functions and events.

I strongly recumbent MIRA to anyone whose business fits the MIRA criteria. They are our eyes and ears in Lansing. They keep us current with laws and legislation. Many rebate programs for members can add up quickly.

We have benefited a lot from MIRA, they have helped us out in many ways. We use the coupon program a lot, and we use the insurance program

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.

It’s unbelievable what MIRA has been able to do. They’ve done a lot for us but just the CATax alone is the difference between making money and losing money. And now, with what they’re trying to do for us with the cigarette and tobacco tax is another battle we’re fighting to try to keep it down where things are semi-affordable for the normal wiring Joe!
