The Voice of Illinois Retail
Über uns
The Illinois Retail Merchants Association (IRMA) benefits Illinois retailing through effective engagement with retailers, the general public, policy makers, and the media regarding the impact legislative and regulatory proposals will have on the success of retail operations. As your voice in the Capitol, Chicago City Hall, Cook County Board Chambers, and regulatory agencies across the state, IRMA closely monitors legislative and regulatory activity, voicing opposition to anti-business proposals and supporting and passing business friendly initiatives. CORE FUNCTION - ADVOCACY IRMA serves as the voice of Illinois retailing providing full-time advocacy services and representation in front of State, Cook County and City of Chicago policy makers. IRMA’s government relations efforts have resulted in both the passage and defeat of significant bills of major bottom line impact on retail stores. From the nation’s largest retailers to independent businesses in every corner of the State, merchants can count on IRMA to fight for the best possible environment in which to do business in Illinois. - ASSOCIATION SERVICES Among advocacy services and representation, IRMA’s group programs ensure a membership with IRMA doesn’t cost, it pays. Retailers, at any level of the business, invest countless resources in making the company a success. We help members protect and grow that investment. IRMA group programs contribute to the bottom line in helping small and large companies get the best service at the lowest cost. Inside IRMA membership, there is something for everyone.

Scott Shapiro’s love for men’s fashion began early, spending childhood vacations and days off from school at Syd Jerome Menswear — the iconic menswear store his late father founded in 1958 in the heart of Chicago. “I got a chance to see my father interacting with some of the notables of Chicago,” Scott recalled. “Some of the brightest minds in the city of Chicago, and some throughout the country and the world, were coming to my father to ask for his opinion about how they should dress. So, I said, ‘You know, I could do that.’” More than six decades after his dad first founded the business, Scott is doing just that as the president and owner of Syd Jerome. This week, we’re proud to highlight Syd Jerome in IRMA’s “We Are Retail” campaign showcasing the retailers who make Illinois work. Syd Jerome is more than just a high-end haberdashery; it’s a Chicagoland institution. Watch Scott’s story below and visit https://ow.ly/37tZ50T7W6g to see how he honors his father’s legacy — from delivering elite customer service to decorating the store with blue pinstripe wallpaper and blue flannel accents, nods to his dad’s favorites in men’s fashion. #IRMAWeAreRetail
