Since 1927, HWY Partners has stood beside the brands we represent — through changing markets, evolving channels, and nearly a century of growth. What started with Harold W. Young as a direct salesman for the Sweets Company of America has grown into a multi-generational partner trusted by brands across the country.
A century in business isn’t built on transactions. It’s built on relationships — with the retailers we call on, the teams we work alongside, and the brands who trust us to represent them in the marketplace. It’s built on showing up, market after market, decade after decade, and doing the work that turns opportunity into lasting growth.
As we mark 100 years, we’re proud of where we’ve been — and energized by where we’re going. The channels have changed. The tools have changed. But our commitment to being a true strategic partner, not just a broker, hasn’t changed at all.
Here’s to the next hundred years of partnership.
To better serve the grocery and convenience channels in Wisconsin, MYA has established long-standing partnerships with brokers who bring strong local relationships and market expertise. These partnerships allow our teams to operate collaboratively under unified banners, providing clients with clear accountability and consistent execution across the state.
MYA’s Wisconsin grocery business operates under the Wisconsin Grocery Group banner. Wisconsin Grocery Group is a joint effort between Mueller Yurgae Associates, Shankman and Associates, and Timmons-Sheehan Company. Together, these firms deliver comprehensive grocery coverage backed by deep retailer relationships and decades of combined experience in the Wisconsin market.
For convenience retailer coverage in Wisconsin, MYA partners with Shankman and Associates under the Shankman Mueller Yurgae banner. This structure allows for focused convenience expertise while maintaining alignment with MYA’s broader strategy and service standards.
Both Wisconsin Grocery Group and Shankman Mueller Yurgae are headquartered out of MYA’s Wisconsin regional office in Waukesha, which serves as the operational hub for these teams.
