UMS member stores are an integral part of their communities. The store owners know many of their customers by name and there is a strong sense of loyalty from the community to the store. UMS stores take care of their communities through a multitude of outreach programmes and initiatives that involve children, the vulnerable and the elderly.

The core values of UMS and our members include a strong focus on family and the community. UMS member stores are family-owned businesses supporting their communities as their own.
