About us
NGA is the national trade association representing the retail and wholesale grocers that comprise the independent sector of the food distribution industry. An independent retailer is a privately owned or controlled food retail company operating a variety of formats. Most independent operators are serviced by wholesale distributors, while others may be partially or fully self-distributing. Some are publicly traded but with controlling shares held by the family and others are employee owned. Independents are the true "entrepreneurs" of the grocery industry and dedicated to their customers, associates, and communities. NGA members include retail and wholesale grocers, state grocers associations, as well as manufacturers and service suppliers. For more information about NGA and the independent sector of the industry, see the NGA website: www.NationalGrocers.org.

📰 NGA Statement Today on SNAP Funding "Today, for the first time since the program’s creation, Congress allowed funding to run out for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), limiting the ability for millions of low-income Americans to access the nutritious food needed to feed themselves and their families. The current disruption to SNAP funding is likely to have far-reaching consequences for local grocers, their employees, and the communities they help feed." - Greg Ferrara, NGA President & CEO Read the full statement 👇
