TOP 100 RETAILERS AWARDS
EIGHT YEARS CELEBRATING INDUSTRY ICONS
Our eighth-annual Top 100 Awards gala took place on the 50th floor of the IDS Center in downtown Minneapolis in June. In addition to panoramic views of the Twin Cities, guests enjoyed networking with fellow winners from across the beverage industry.
For the second year our Top 100 banquet included not just the Top 100 Retailers, but also Beverage Information Group’ s other award programs: 40 Under 40, Control State Best Practices, Distributor Best Practices and BevX Movers & Shakers.
Garfield’ s Beverage won Retailer of the Year for the second time, which means they will enter the Top 100 Hall of Fame in 2027. It also means a new off-premise retailer will take our top prize next year – who will it be?
If you were not among this year’ s honorees, be sure to enter by visiting bevinfogroup. com. Entries for the Top 100 Retailers open in the fall, and the other awards have rolling deadlines throughout the year. Winners are not chosen based on sales volume or chain size, but quality of operations and adherence to best practices. We’ re looking for the best, regardless of company size.
I look forward to seeing your entries for the 2027 Top 100 Awards, and honoring the winners at our ninth-annual banquet in Cincinnati next June!
