My-Retail-Company is one of the largest retail food companies in town as measured by total annual sales. Our headquarters are in Los Angeles, California, where we were founded in 1900 by Mr. Uncle Sammy. He was one of the first visionaries to come up with the idea of the the kind of company that we have turned out to be.
	Our mission is to be a leader in the distribution and merchandising of food, pharmacy, health and personal care items, seasonal health and personal care items, seasonal merchandise, and related products and services. Many of the products that we stock and sell have been patented and manufactured by us at our state-of-the-art manufacturing plants. We have seven of such manufacturing plants.

As a concerned and active corporate citizen, My-Retail-Company also makes important contributions to the communities we serve.
