The programs they have right now with the rebates and the different things you can get from many vendors help us out a lot. We’re getting rebates from Sherwood, D&B Grocers, and others; there’s quite a few companies we are getting rebates from that we never did before, and we’re dealing with them now because of the rebates.

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.

Before, MIRA was all about donations. After Auday (arabo) took over (as President) though, the programs and organization improved tremendously. It’s all about helping the people and not just asking your members for donations.

MIRA helps us have a larger voice in the government as it relates to the food industry. We have connections with many city leaders and hopefully that helps us compete with the big businesses that are moving into Detroit because of tax incentives.

I still serve with MIRA on the Foundation Board, so I can bring my connections with the outside world to build a better connection with MIRA, and all of those dealings with corporate America in my time with MIRA have helped me in my role today at ACC.

It is important to be involved in what is happening in the gasoline and convenience store industry. MIRA is always on the cutting edge of what is going on, as well as the issues that arrive daily.”

“It’s important to promote MIRA because it is such a wonderful organization for people in our industry to become a part of so they can receive all the benefits that are available to them.”
