Alliance Retail Group (ARG) is the largest self-negotiating grocery ad group in the United States. ARG is a retailer owned LLC that passes 100% of the vendors trade funds to its members with a transparent fee based business model. Our nonprofit business model is pay as we go with nothing retained at year end. With over 1000 independent supermarkets in 25+ states, ARG provides the lowest cost of goods possible to our members. As a cooperative, ARG negotiates with our trade partners to give our retailers the power of a big box banner with the freedom of an independent grocer. Collectively, our annual retail sales now exceed $8 billion.
