PGI Seeks the Best for Outstanding Independent Awards

If you think you have one of the best supermarkets in the country, let us know about it. Progressive Grocer Independent is seeking nominees for its Outstanding Independents Awards. The form can be found at www.progressivegrocer.com/2016independentawards.

The editors will be using several criteria to judge the nominees, including fresh departments, such as produce, meat & seafood; bakery and deli; as well as operational ingenuity in areas like technology and sustainability. We also want to know about any community outreach programs you participate in and anything that gives your business that “wow” factor.

From your nominations, we will be selecting Overall Outstanding Operators (for single and multistore companies) in addition to rewarding businesses with departmental and operational awards. The winners of the Overall Outstanding Operators will be featured in the February issue of the magazine and will be honored at a reception held during the NGA show in February.

Nominations must be in by Nov. 1, 2015. Tell us why your business is great.
