Testimonials:

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.

MIRA is a good organization, I’ve been with them for 8 years.  They have a lot of programs for many businesses, and we’re able to use the coupon program and get discounts from various vendors.  Most people who take advantage of the programs end up coming back and using them for different things.

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 strength, and the more members we have, the stronger we become.

MIRA is constantly fighting for retailer rights.  They have a voice in Lansing and are there for any questions or peoblems retailers might have.

There is a need for everyone in a specific industry to work together for a common goal to implement change in the common scheme.  It’s much easier to do this in a group, as opposed to sitting on the sidelines and allowing one peorson to take the lead while you reap the benefits.  It’s very important for you to be a part of the group, be a team player, and be a member of that organization – especially in this industry.  Membership in the association provides networking opportunities.

As a member, we receive better prices on wholesale pricing.  MIRA allows me to buy more and sell more product every quarter.  I also receive a rebate check from MIRA each quarter.

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.

We take advantage of a lot of the beverage and meat programs MIRA provides.  They make us stronger.  Without these programs, as a single operator, you have no voice, but when MIRA negotiates for you, now you’re a voice of thousands.

It’s important to have oil lobbyists on your side, and MIRA provides that.  If you have a problem, there was always something that MIRA could do.  They gave us strength in numbers when dealing with oil companies.

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.
