2015 National Top Shop Award Winners Announced
Gisborne’s Specsavers has been named the best store in the country, winning the National Supreme Award at the Retail NZ Top Shop Awards in Christchurch tonight. Carvin Streetwear from Gore and Warehouse Stationery Royal Oak were both named runners up.
The National Pureplay E-tailer award was also presented at the Top Shop Awards evening and went to Wellington’s Beauty Bliss. The prize for National Retail Professional of the Year was this year awarded jointly to two retailers, Jess Pulham from Carvin Streetwear in Gore and Rebekah Brown from Resene, Auckland.
“The Retail NZ Top Shop awards celebrate all those who have achieved retail excellence over the past year, and aim to lift the bar of retailing in New Zealand. The best stores are selected based on three rigorous rounds of judging – two in-store assessments and a panel selection, across a broad range of store types, including national chains and independent boutiques. The winners of the Retail Professional and Overall Supreme National Awards were selected from the 2015 regional winners announced at Top Shop events throughout the country over the past six weeks,” Retail NZ Chief Executive Mark Johnston said tonight.
“All the finalists and winners should be very proud of what they’ve achieved, but I offer a special congratulations to the team at Specsavers Gisborne. Winning the National Supreme Awards is a tremendous achievement. The judges that visited the store were impressed by the very professional layout and look. The staff were friendly and made customers feel welcome and at ease, while providing excellent advice,” said Mark Johnston.
