Being A Retailer In Hawaii Isn’t Easy…
By looking out for your business needs and interests, HFIA allows you to focus on what you do best: running a successful operation. Whether you operate a single store or a regional chain, you will benefit by joining HFIA.
Each year the Hawaii State Legislature proposes more than 2,000 pieces of legislation, much of which impacts the grocery industry in some way. Issues include transportation; employment laws; food processing, handling and packaging; alcohol and tobacco regulation are just to name a few.
All of these issues can have a material impact on your company’s bottom line. By being a member of HFIA, you can join your industry peers to help advocate for your business interests.
HFIA not only works on behalf of its members at the state level. HFIA’s local government relations team responds to local proposed ordinances as well. No other state association (grocery or retail) offers the comprehensive coverage of the important issues like HFIA.
