Kalpit Pamnani
Director | The Beach Rock IGA
I have been a member of MGA for some years now. I am very happy with their support and advice whenever I have a staff issue. Their award rates expertise and their legal advice helped me understand my obligations to my employees and the employees’ obligation to me, avoiding any unnecessary confrontation and resulting in mutually beneficial resolutions. I would highly recommend any liquor store owner who is not a member to seriously consider getting on board, as I could not imagine being left out in the wilderness with no one to turn to.

Barooga IGA
I have been a member of MGA since I became an independent liquor retailer. I have used their legal advisors many times for various staff issues and have always been extremely happy with the support and direction provided.
MGA’s legal advisor assisted me greatly with a staff issue, and I cannot praise her enough for the assistance and support she provided. She helped me understand my obligations to my employee and the employee’s obligation to me, avoiding any unnecessary confrontation. A mutually beneficial resolution was then possible. I am very happy with the support I was given, and also love the benefit of being able to get advice without leaving my business. I would highly recommend membership of MGA to any liquor store owner.
