Alabama Grocer 2022 Issue 4 for Print Final

The Alabama Grocers Association, the leading voice of the grocery industry in the state of Alabama, officially made its endorsement for the November 8, 2022 general election. Founded in 1990, the AGA is dedicated to advocating for a business climate that creates, protects, and promotes the grocery industry in Alabama. “We believe the following candidates understand the role of the grocery industry and its importance to the economy of the state of Alabama,” said Harold Garrett, Alabama Grocers Association Chairman. Each candidate was evaluated on their record and pro-business attitude. “AGA is confident these candidates will be fair to our industry and represent the best choices in the general election in November,” said Ellie Taylor, Alabama Grocers Association President. The food retail industry in Alabama provides over half a million jobs with over $2.2 billion in annual wages paid. Grocers pay over $1.18 billion in state taxes and have a total economic impact on the state’s economy of over $12.1 billion dollars.
