Since its beginning in 1995, the Atlanta Retailers Association (ARA) has grown into a nearly 900 member trade association. The Association is comprised of persons who came together as a result of having a common faith and who own or operate convenience stores in the region. ARA member stores work together to represent their members’ collective interests for purposes such as being up to date on the industry’s latest trends and interacting with vendors. The Association is governed by its by-laws and an elected honorary board of directors.
