AG New England 65th Anniversary Annual Meeting

The annual meeting was held on June 15 at the McAuliffe/Shepard Discovery Center in Concord, New Hampshire. Sales and customer growth continued to come from a significant increase in member retailers. We saw gains in our Associated Convenience Grocers group as well, and	our corporate stores also made a solid contribution to profitability. Today, oil prices remain unstable, the economic forecast is still unclear. But what we do know that AG New England celebrates its 65th year in better shape to meet the challenges that lie ahead.
