Serving. Uniting. Advocating. Since 1912

The Georgia Food Industry Association (GFIA) has represented the grocery industry since 1912. GFIA is the only Georgia association that is solely dedicated to advocate legislative and regulatory fairness for the food industry. GFIA works daily to limit the adverse impacts of intrusive government regulations.

Through our work at the Capitol, various networking events and educational training opportunities, GFIA is committed to promoting and strengthening the food industry. With over 400 members consisting of retailers, wholesalers and suppliers, GFIA is truly “The Voice of the Food Industry in Georgia.”

History
The Georgia Food Industry Association started over a century ago when a group of independent retailers came together as the Georgia Food Dealers Association, understanding that they could accomplish more together than on their own. In 1979, the Georgia Food Dealers Association became the Georgia Grocers Association, and in 1992, its present name was adopted.

The grocery industry certainly looked different in those early years. The founding retailers could never have imagined a day where technology played such an important role in running a store, competition was so tough, and margins were so low. They did recognize that regulations and politics could impede their progress, and that remains true today. GFIA remains as the only state association in Georgia solely dedicated to advocate for legislative and regulatory fairness for the food industry.
