Denver, CO (5/27/10) – Sunflower Farmers Market has proven once again to be an exceptional supermarket. The grocer, famous for serving its customers “Serious Food at Silly Prices™,” has been awarded the 2010 Hot Retailers Award from the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC). The Hot Retailers Award is currently celebrating its eighth year.
Sunflower Farmers Market emerged as one of the top retailers from a pool of over 3,000 companies. Winners were chosen based on the results of an annual survey sent to over 55,000 ICSC members who were asked to name the concepts they considered to be the "most original and innovative" in the industry. Bennett Bertoli, Vice Prresident of Real Estate, accepted the award for Sunflower.
"We are very honored to receive this award and recognition,” said Mike Gilliland, CEO of Sunflower Farmers Market. “This award is a true tribute to our grocery store concept, which we believe has brought the best of both worlds together – low price points and natural, organic foods. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the growth of our company and the enthusiasm we have seen from our customers.”
The prestigious Hot Retailers award was presented to Sunflower Farmers Market on May 25 in a ceremony during RECon, the largest retail real estate event in the world, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Television personality and style guru Carson Kressley of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy hosted the event.
Sunflower Farmers Market is famous for offering its customers the highest-quality natural and organic products at the lowest possible price. As customers’ tastes change and more shoppers seek healthier, organic options for their families, Sunflower has emerged as a pioneer in redefining and developing the value facet of the natural and organic foods retailing industry.
