ISELIN, N.J. — Allegiance Retail Services recently hosted its 14th annual golf outing, bringing together ARS cooperative members, leadership and supplier partners for a day of golf, networking and relationship building. Held at Upper Montclair Country Club, the annual event provides an opportunity for members and suppliers to strengthen the partnerships that are central to the cooperative’s success. The outing was generously sponsored by ARS’ supplier partners.
Upper Montclair Country Club is a private golf club featuring three nine-hole courses designed by renowned golf course architect A.W. Tillinghast.
Light rain delayed the start of the outing briefly as 192 golfers gathered for a day of friendly competition and camaraderie on the course.
“The golf outing reflects the cooperative spirit at the heart of Allegiance Retail Services,” said Samer Rahman, President and COO of ARS. “It provides an opportunity for camaraderie and relationship building outside the store environment and is an event that our members, leadership team and supplier partners look forward to each year.”
