Voice Power

The GRA is dedicated to making Georgia one of the best places in the United States to do business. Much has been accomplished in working toward this goal but there is so much more to be done to ensure Georgia is both economically and politically friendly for retailing.

Retailers benefit from GRA's influence on the passage of positive legislation and, most importantly, we are there for you working to stop legislation that could negatively impact your business through taxes, regulations or fees. As long as there are threats to your business, the Georgia Retail Association will make sure the voice of the retail industry is heard loud and clear.
