The Michigan Retailers Association has applauded state legislators for declaring today to be Supermarket Employee Day in recognition of the critical role Michigan grocery workers have played throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
“From day one, Michigan supermarket employees have worked exceptionally hard during unprecedented times to keep store shelves stocked and environments safe for customers to shop throughout the pandemic,” said William Hallan, president of Michigan Retailers Association. “We are indebted to these unsung heroes and appreciate lawmakers for recognizing the critical role these workers play in keeping our communities fed and in minimizing the spread of COVID-19.”
The Michigan Senate adopted Senate Resolution 18, sponsored by Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Kevin Daley (R-Lum) and the Michigan House adopted House Resolution 36, sponsored by House Agriculture Committee Vice-Chair Bryan Posthumus (R-Cannon Township) on Thursday.

Retailers across Michigan are optimistic for the new year with hopes for a rebound after sales slumped during the pandemic. Jennifer Rook, with the Michigan Retailers Association, says optimism is indeed the theme for 2021.
“It seems like, based on a three month outlook which is an index of retail confidence, it’s looking like retailers are optimistic going into the new year,” Rook said. “It’s been a dismal year, no surprise there, but going into the next year, going into the next three months, going into the next year, we think that optimism is going to translate into higher sales across all industries.”
