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

Frank Ayar
Walter's Shopping Place, Hamtramck MI
MIRA is the strongest organization we have in the area to help independent food retailers compete and level the playing field against our corporate competitors as well as having our voices heard in government.”

“Promoting membership to MIRA makes the organization stronger, which generates more influence in the marketplace as well as with the government. As retailers, we can accomplish a great deal more as a team than as individuals.

Marvin Yono
Alpine Marketplace, Linden MI
I serve on the board to help out where I can, stay involved, and be a part of the success of our industry.”

“We need to promote membership so that the MIRA can prosper, and so that retailers are on the same page. Membership makes us stronger.

Joe Nashar

MIRA truly represents its members well. Auday does a magnificent job in following through with all the needs of retailers and having created a highly respected organization, and one of the most active. They are working hard and they involve their members.

Mike George

I believe in the effectiveness and spirit of the staff and members of this organization. I recommend that all members read the MIRA mission statement to get a sense of how important it is for everyone to promote membership.

Paul Elhindi
Corner Market, Lyndhurst OH
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.
