Advocating for the Industry for over 100 Years

As we step into an exciting new year, we are grateful for your continued trust and support. For more than a century, the Missouri Grocers Association and the Retail Grocers Association of Kansas and Missouri have each proudly served their members and advanced the retail and grocery industry. Today, we are thrilled to announce the next chapter in that legacy: the formation of the Midwest Retail and Grocery Alliance (MRGA).
By uniting two long-standing associations, we are combining resources, strengthening advocacy and creating a stronger voice for the grocery industry across Missouri and Kansas. Together, we will champion policies, programs and partnerships that ensure the long-term success of our members while fostering a vibrant and resilient grocery community in the Midwest.
Within this packet, you’ll find information on the many advertising and sponsorship opportunities available in 2026. These opportunities are designed not only to highlight your company’s leadership and commitment to the industry but also to deliver meaningful value and visibility for your business.
Your partnership empowers us to provide members with critical tools, resources and advocacy to navigate an ever-changing marketplace. With your support, MRGA will continue to be a strong advocate, a reliable partner and a driving force for innovation and growth in our industry.
Thank you for standing with us as we begin this new journey together. We look forward to partnering with you in 2026 and beyond.
