The Florida Grocery Council of the Florida Retail Federation represents the major grocery chains operating in Florida along with hundreds of smaller independent chains and stores. John Rogers is very active in lobbying on behalf of grocery retailers, and representing them in the regulatory process. The Council works to keep its members aware of legislative issues and events affecting the success of the retail grocery industry.
