MGA Members use the power of collaboration to create a positive business environment in Missouri. By working together as a single voice for the food industry, members of the Missouri Grocers Association influence and improve the grocery, retail, food sales and distribution commerce throughout the state.
The grocery industry is heavily regulated, making MGA’s relationship with the state and federal agencies invaluable to our members. Our association is here to answer any questions you may have. We can help with EBT and WIC programs, food safety, alcohol and tobacco compliance, food licenses, and any other industry issues that you may need clarification on.
“As business owners and leaders, we have had many struggles tending to the daily operations inside our stores ensuring our essential services are uninterrupted, let alone dealing with the day to day, sometimes minute to minute changes in regulations coming to us from the Missouri Governor’s office and the health departments from each local jurisdiction. Through this time, the MGA team rose to the challenge ensuring that retailers and industry leaders were up to date as quickly as possible on any changes with immediate effect on the grocery industry,"
