Celebrating the 2021
Gold Medal Service Awards
Let's celebrate.
In November of 2021, we
announced the winners
of our seventh annual
Gold Medal Service
Awards for Outstanding
Customer Service.
Seventy stores were
honored with the award.
All of the award winning
stores and employees
deserve to be celebrated.
After mailing out
plaques to each of the
award-winning stores,
we heard back from
dozens of shops… in the
form of photos (as seen
in the pictures on these
pages). Congratulations
once again to all of the
outstanding stores who
earned the Gold Medal
honor in 2021. We know
how hard you work and
we love seeing your
smiling faces!
Looking ahead: The
mystery shop for the
2022 Gold Medal Service
Award consideration will
take place late summer.
