Profile: Arizona Retailers Association

Formed in 1963, Arizona Retailers Association is the voice of retail in Arizona. ARA is the link between retailers and legislators at the Arizona State Legislature. ARA also represents the interests of the Arizona retail industry through state regulators as well as through a grassroots network with the Arizona Congressional delegation.

Our members include large and small independent retailers as well as regional and national chain stores. The businesses represent apparel, convenience, furniture, hardware, grocery, jewelry, office supply, pharmacy, and department stores.

ARA is affiliated with National Retail Federation (NRF) and its sister affiliates in every state in the country. Therefore we are able to share information regarding new benefits, unique programs and legislative issues of concern to retailers.

We provide a number of services, which offer discounted rates and programs to assist ARA members. ARA is a source of information and support, providing a variety of invaluable services to help member companies operate efficiently and profitably.
