Although the building we call MRA Headquarters has been standing for over 100 years, MRA officially moved in 25 years ago. In 1999, MRA purchased the Women’s Club and moving trucks transported members’ files, employee desks and chairs, and Association equipment across Lansing from 221 Pine St.
Many changes occurred in these past 25 years. Most notably from the photos, the parking lot that was once out front of the main entrance, was moved to the south side, and replaced with a lawn and walkway. Behind the doors, carpets, wallpaper, paint, fridges, and the like, have been updated and replaced as needed. The hardworking MRA team has grown to 33 and still puts the needs of MRA members first.
We’re happy to have reached a quarter-century serving our members at our home, 603 S. Washington Avenue, Lansing, and look forward to many more years being Michigan retailers’ go-to resource.
