MIRA Midwest Independent Retailers Association & Foundation

About Us

MIRA, which serves as “The voice for ALL independent retailers,'' is recognized as the premier trade association representing Independent retailers throughout the Midwest.

MIRA stands on “Seven Pillars of Service”, which are: business, government relations, vendor programs, compliance, community outreach, Midwest Independent Retailers Foundation, and the MIRA Impact Fund.

MIRA’s diverse membership includes ALL independent retailers from every sector and the suppliers and vendors who service them throughout the Midwest.

As the association has grown in numbers, the combined buying strength of our membership has afforded MIRA the negotiation power to provide members with discounts on almost every aspect of their business that individually they would not have access to. Benefits such as coupon redemption services, rebate programs, office supply programs, health care, insurance, payroll, uniforms and many more benefits geared to improve your bottom line!

MIRA’s Government Relations Team works directly with legislators to monitor and introduce legislation and create public policy that represents the priorities of our membership. MIRA’s Government Relations Team also acts as a liaison between members and state and local agencies while working to educate our members on remaining in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
