U.R.M. Stores

U.R.M.’s core business is the purchasing, warehousing, and delivery of merchandise inventory to its Member-Owners through its patronage departments.  The company operates on a cooperative basis, which means that all of its net earnings on business done with or for its Member-Owners through its Patronage Departments are allocated and paid to its Member-Owners in the form of patronage dividends.  Such patronage dividends are paid to the Member-Owners in proportion to the business each Member-Owner does with U.R.M. through each of its Patronage Departments.

Over the last century, the history and growth of the company, stands as a testimony to the strength and vitality of the retailer-owned system.
