How to Join

AG New England is at the right place at the right time. In today’s marketplace, the company is a formidable resource with serious advantages for Independent Retail Grocers. As a retailer-owned cooperative, we're uniquely positioned to provide retailers with a depth of services, products, programs, resources, opportunities and assistance unavailable from any other single source.

Many independents elect to become share-holding members of the AG New England cooperative to gain the many benefits of membership. However, not all stores are members; some retailers are served as affiliated stores. Convenience stores are typically serviced through Associated Convenience Grocers, a division focused on the different needs of stores of this format.

AG New England customers have password-protected access to MyAGNE.com. This comprehensive communications tool features store training, participation in cost-savings programs, and the latest information on news about services and opportunities to maximize a store's success.

Becoming a member is a simple process for retailers within our geographic area. Just submit a membership application with financial information for credit approval. Once you're approved, you'll be asked to purchase one share of class A stock and begin purchasing class B stock over time until the class B stock requirement is fulfilled, as stated in our bylaws. As long as you're an active retailer, you'll retain membership in AG New England.
