Maine Merchants Association Information

Maine's retail businesses are facing more competition and greater challenges today than ever before. In such an environment, it is essential to have an advocate to ward off burdensome laws and regulations that add to the cost and reduce business efficiency. Maine's merchant businesspeople also need a source for products and services, at affordable prices, that all businesses require. Your Voice, Your Pocket: The Maine Merchants Association represents the retail merchant industry before elected officials for policy and voting decisions. We are on the front lines of issues that directly affect your bottom line: wage and hour issues, worker's compensation costs, employee benefits, health care costs, taxes and more. Founded in 1933, Maine Merchants Association is the VOICE of Maine's retail and merchant community.
