The Kentucky Retail Federation is the "Voice of Retailing" throughout the Commonwealth, representing retailers of all types and sizes since 1939. From Main Street to the mall, retailers enhance Kentucky's communities and provide a better quality of life for Kentuckians everywhere. Kentucky's retail industry employs 360 thousand Kentuckians and pays more than $6.3 billion in wages annually. Retailers collect over $2.5 billion in state sales tax and pay millions in other taxes to state and local governments.
