  • Welcome to the Maine Grocers Association.  The Maine Grocers Association is the statewide membership organization formed to represent the interests of Maine’s retail and wholesale grocery industry.  Formed in 1935, the MGA’s membership includes grocery stores and supermarkets, wholesalers, distributors, and suppliers committed to providing Maine citizens with the highest quality products.

    The Maine Food Industry Directory and Resource Guide is a comprehensive handbook featuring a step by step Retail Store Licensing Requirements Checklist, membership listings, regulatory contacts, business development resources and so much more.

    Benefits of Membership

    Advocacy

    With leadership from a committed Board of Directors and membership, the Maine Grocers Association has what is needed to be an effective advocate on issues of interest such as labor, food safety, tax policies, unfair business practices, the bottle laws, environmental policy, milk pricing, liquor licensing and more.

    Communications & Events

    MGA members receive the ever popular MGA Focus Newsletter published every other week, plus MGA Alerts on issues ranging from product recalls to marketing strategies and Legislative Action Alerts during the Legislative session. Members are listed in the Maine Food Industry Directory and Resource Guide that is filled with valuable contact information for Maine’s food industry.

    The annual Spring Issues Forum draws MGA members and key state and federal policy makers and regulatory personnel for a day of information exchange.  The Spring Golf Tournament provides an enviable setting for business to business networking and fun.
