I want to see MIRA grow its membership so that we have more clout in lobbying for favorable legislation. We need to promote membership so that the MIRA can be a strong voice in speaking for independent retailers.

MIRA keeps me informed of all the latest news and updates with the government issues and we get rebates from all the vendors. They keep us up to speed on the latest regulations and keep us informed with just about everything. And if we have any issues we call them and they are right there to answer us right away. That’s is what is good about it.

There is strength in numbers and higher membership makes a good impression. Legislators and lobbyists will listen to an organization with 4,000 members.

Not everyone realizes how important MIRA is or how it benefits their business.”

“There are many intangible assets for each member’s business from work MIRA does behind the scenes in Lansing, Columbus, and Washington on issues that affect all of us. As we gain more members, our voice becomes stronger.

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.

I volunteer because the association helps shape the direction of the industry and also benefits my business.”

“We should continue to educate our members on the benefits of membership so that they take advantage of our programs. We are all small business owners with common goals and we all compete against the bigger businesses. Binding together in MIRA makes us more competitive against them.
