The National Grocers Association Service Corporation

The National Grocers Association Service Corporation (N.G.A.) is the national trade association representing 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 in a variety of formats.

Most independent operators are serviced by wholesale distributors, while others may be partially or fully self distributing. N.G.A. members include retail and wholesale grocers and their state associations, as well as manufacturers and service suppliers.

The mission of the NGASC is to serve the membership with cost-effective, national programs that increase efficiency, control costs, and build sales and market share.
