MIRA, as an organization is a good corporate citizen that gives back to the people of this community.”

“I expect MIRA to continue to lead the political fight for issues that involve building a stronger business climate and hope everyone promotes membership because MIRA’s consolidated voice for the group is stronger that it would be for each member.

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.

If we work together as one voice, we are a lot louder than we are alone.

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!

MIRA is a valuable resource for retail businesses. As a member, we have been kept abreast of government and industry relations that impact our business, both now and in the future. MIRA also serves by answering our questions and educating our team on new regulations and guidelines.

By increasing membership, MIRA can improve the perception of supermarkets in the area. Metro-Detroit is perceived as a food desert, but we have some of the best supermarkets anywhere.
