About the Coalition
The California Retailers Association created the California Retail Grocery Coalition to give grocery retailers a strong, unified voice in state policy. As regulations expand and operational pressures increase, the Coalition ensures lawmakers understand the real challenges grocers face and helps shape policies that support business stability and the communities they serve.
Advocacy and Policy Influence
Backed by the Association’s close relationships with state leaders, the Coalition plays a central role in major legislative efforts affecting grocery retailers. These partnerships have driven progress on issues such as retail theft, labor mandates, and environmental regulations while giving members early insight into proposals that directly impact store operations and profitability.
Navigating Complex Regulations
Grocery retailers face rapidly increasing regulatory demands including packaging mandates, organic waste requirements, standardized date labeling rules, evolving data privacy obligations, and strict PFAS restrictions. The Coalition provides guidance and advocacy to ensure these regulations are workable and aligned with operational realities, helping retailers stay compliant while influencing policy development.
Strengthening the Future of Grocery Retail
Through expert briefings, compliance tools, networking opportunities, and high level engagement with policymakers, the Coalition positions grocery retailers as leaders in a complex and fast changing industry. Members gain the collective strength, insight, and resources needed to stay competitive, informed, and prepared for the future.
