Mission Merchants Association

The Mission Merchants Association (MMA) Is made up of Mission District businesses and property owners. We share common concerns and want to make our businesses successful. Together, we can better address our mutual concerns. With a unified voice, we can better promote our businesses, get more vital public services, media coverage and small business opportunities.

There is always something important to say to the City of San Francisco. This is best done as a dynamic organization. If we want to be able to expand out business opportunities, we need to be able to speak as a group for zoning that will give us flexibility of business use, maximize our BART/MUNI stops, address our parking concerns and improve the general appearance and safety of our neighborhood.

The month of May and Carnaval San Francisco is a major opportunity for merchants to put media attention on our shopping corridor. It also gives us great opportunities to have people frequent our shops, restaurants and cultural centers.

Join the Mission Merchants Association. Let's profit together!
