M&M’S World® New York Wins Three National Awards
COLUMBUS,OH—M&M’S World® New York, designed by Columbus, OH–based Chute Gerdeman Retail, has won three more national awards, adding to an already-impressive list of honors.
The store, which has quickly become a Times Square, recently took home a first place award at the 37th annual Institute of Store Planners/VM+SD International Store Design Competition.
Also, Chain Store Age magazine announced that the store has won two first place awards in its Retail Store of the Year competition—for Attraction Retailing (5,000-25,000 sq. ft.) and Exterior (25,000 sq. ft. or less). The winners will be profiled in the magazine’s February issue and will be honored March 8 during the magazine’s annual SPECS conference in Dallas.
The ISP/VM+SD award, for specialty stores over 10,000 sq. ft., was announced at the annual awards banquet January 14. The winners will be profiled in the February 2008 issue of VM+SD magazine.
The M&M’S World® stores in New York and Orlando, both of which were designed by Chute Gerdeman, have won more than a dozen design awards in the past two years.
