About TGCSA

The Tennessee Grocers & Convenience Store Association is the only trade association that represents all segments of Tennessee’s food industry. Membership is comprised of retail grocery store and convenience store operations, as well as food industry wholesalers, manufacturers, distributors and suppliers.  TGCSA has served the needs of its members since 1978.

TGCSA is the strong voice of Tennessee’s food industry before the state’s policy makers and regulators.  Working closely with the Tennessee General Assembly, our governor and multiple agencies, we stand firm against the advancement of ideas and movements that would be detrimental to our industry.  Likewise, we work to advance changes that benefit our retail and wholesale members and their customers.
​
Central to our record of success has been the involvement our dynamic business members.  Their investment and activism protect and strengthen an industry that represents more than 200,000 Tennessee jobs.
