The Arizona Retailers Association (ARA) honored 17 recipients of the ARA Retailer of the Year Award at the 2019 ARA Annual Awards Luncheon on October 18, 2019.  State Legislators are given the opportunity to nominate a retailer in their legislative district for this award based on their business acumen along with their community service and involvement.  Following is the list of Award recipients and the nominating State Legislator. 
 
Senator Rick Gray, Arizona Legislative District 21 accepted the ARA Retailer of the Year Award on behalf of Tommy Irvin, General Manager of GOAZ Motorcycles.  GOAZ Motorcycles is located at 16844 North Arrowhead Fountain Center Drive in Peoria Arizona.
 
Senator Gray stated, “GOAZ has brought jobs, customers and the reputation of being a great company to Peoria.”
 
The Arizona Retailers Association along with Senator Gray and 18 other legislators, participated in the event to recognize the value of small businesses in Arizona.  We are pleased to publicly acknowledge the impact of these retailers and reward them for their efforts.  After all the fears and all the have-to-do’s that keep retailers up at night, we are happy to celebrate their accomplishments.
 
Mr. Irvin and 16 other passionate, hardworking retailers were recognized for their excellence.
