The REI awards will take place in the Radisson Blu in Galway on November 1. The finalists were selected following a rigorous examination process involving, application review, mystery shopping and a store audit process.
David Fitzsimons, CEO of REI, stated: “I want to congratulate these progressive retailers for being selected. They are exemplars of the retail industry. Their success shows what can be achieved from the application of a strategic vision for retail in Ireland.
