Here’s a sneak preview of the winners of INSTORE’s eighth annual "America’s Coolest Stores" contest. Winners will be featured in the August edition of INSTORE. But visitors to INSTOREMAG.COM can get an advance look at the winners, including many more photos of each store and other exclusive online content.
Congratulations to our winners, both big and small. You now officially rank among America’s very coolest stores. Thanks also to the more than 100 stores who entered this year’s contest. (The decisions were tougher this year than ever, judges said. So if you didn’t win, please try again next year.) And thanks to our superb judges for all the time they spent working with us on this year’s contest.
ONLINE ONLY! See group editorial director David Squires congratulate the winning stores on video.
