Tennessee (TN)

The Tennessee Restaurant Association (TRA) was founded 70 years ago as an association of professionals who owned and/or operated restaurants and other foodservice businesses across the state.

TRA founders were the leaders, of what was then only a small segment of our state's economy, who had a vision of the potential magnitude of foodservice as it is today.

TRA's members consist of a broad range of leading foodservice operators and foodservice suppliers who are serious about their business and take pride in their role as responsible and caring professional leaders. They understand that this collective effort, with its pool of knowledge and resources, can and does make a difference.

Memphis, TN have some of the the greatest restaurants in the world and since 1947 the Memphis Restaurant Association (MRA) has been supporting and providing a forum for local restaurants operators and foodservice businesses to come together.

The MRA was founded to provide information on ways to improve and maintain a healthy, profitable business, to create a spirit of fellowship among its members and to protect its members from unfair government legislation and unethical business practices.
