The Minnesota Retailers Association (MnRA) was founded in 1952 by a group of retailers who were concerned with the increasing number of state laws and regulations that directly impacted their stores. Since then, MnRA has become the voice of retailing for the merchant community in Minnesota.

MnRA's strength of retail representation comes from the scope of its membership — everyone from small independent retail establishments to large national chains.

As the only Minnesota organization structured to support the retail industry exclusively, the power of representing independent retailers (such as family-owned gift and furniture stores, shoe and sporting goods stores, men's and women's apparel stores, book and stationery stores), as well as the major chain department stores, specialty stores, drugstores, and restaurants is unsurpassed and continues to impact new laws enacted by each legislative session in favor of free market enterprise.

MnRA provides its members: Legislative Services Money Saving Programs and Services Information Services
