About Organization

Welcome to Our Organisation

AARA was established in 2005, as the Asian American Retailers Association. It is not for profit organization located in Springfield, NJ. AARA represents Convenience Stores, Gas Stations and Liquor Stores in the Tri-State area of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The main objective of AARA is to protect retailers while delivering stronger and more profitable future for their business.

AARA has initiated different programs and projects to help our members. Our Preferred Vendor program is an example of one of the many programs and projects we have initiated. Our various product committees are able to utilize the strength and volume of our membership to negotiate and forge long-term relationships that favor our members.

Our policy staff serves to further a broad legislative agenda on statewide issues that impact the community.

In addition, AARA also offers a vast technological information network, the AARA Alert Program, through which we are able to inform our members of issues in real-time. Currently, we are developing health care and insurance programs as well.

Our tradeshows and monthly Network Nights also offer an excellent opportunity for various companies to expose their products and services to either all or select members.
