Member Recognition

The Michigan Retailers Association honors Michigan Centennial Retailers—retailers with 100 or more years in business in Michigan. The program recognizes century-old retail businesses for their contributions to the state’s past, present and future. Since 2000, the first year of the program, over 95 businesses have been recognized as Michigan Centennial Retailers.

Use the form to notify MRA of an eligible business. Retailers whose names are submitted will be contacted and asked to provide a brief history and other information about their business.
