The National Grocers Association has relocated from Arlington, Virginia, to Washington, D.C. The move comes as NGA is working closely with the Biden administration and Congress to advocate for independent grocers on a variety of issues as they continue serving communities across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“For nearly 40 years, NGA has been an effective advocate for our member companies before government and the industry. Our move from the Virginia suburbs onto Pennsylvania Avenue in the heart of the nation’s capital will position NGA to have a greater influence in Washington, D.C., while providing a venue to host lawmakers, policy experts and, most importantly, our members,” said NGA President Greg Ferrara. “This move allows our organization to operate more efficiently, while being strategically located between the U.S. Capitol, White House and key federal agencies. We look forward to welcoming our members and industry partners to our new offices as soon as we are able.”
The new office is located at: 601 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, North Building, Suite 375, Washington, DC 20004.
The new office phone number is 202-938-2570.
NGA is the national trade association representing the 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 a variety of formats. The independent grocery sector is accountable for close to one percent of the nation’s overall economy and is responsible for generating $131 billion in sales, 944,000 jobs, $30 billion in wages and $27 billion in taxes. NGA members include retail and wholesale grocers, state grocers’ associations, as well as manufacturers and service suppliers.
